I’ve been banned from Lemmy communities for being “racist towards Americans” when I call out that they’re a terrorist nation.
Even many Americans would agree that their country have been a terrorist state. But as for getting banned, it depends how you phrased your criticisms.
Yeah, I also came from a country that was a former US colony. I would not run out criticism of US government policies and their elites, and I always say that Trump is merely showing the true face of America. But I would not generalise most or every Americans as fascists, same way as I criticise Russia but not all of its people. I’m just an anti-imperialist and I would happily see imperialist ruling class choke and fall from their own hubris, but I would not wish the worst on ordinary honest people except on those who consciously support imperialism.
