Lately i have noticed multiple strange uses of the collective “we” on fedi.

“We” are going to war with Iran, “we” bombed schoolchildren, “we” have failed to build an efficient railroad network.

I'm a bit boggled by how even progressives (even leftists?) identify with their national goverments to the point of incorporating into a single “we”.

“You” did not do any of that. Your government and your ruling class did it in your place, in spite of you.

@magitweeter But this seems to accurately reflect collectivist thinking. Considering "the society I live in" as "we" is a big part of what makes us leftists.
@UrbanEdm Certainly, but “the society i live in” is also not the same thing as “the people that rule over the society i live in”. Let's not mistake one for the other.
