When was the last time that people who banned others based on country of origin were the good guys?

Unfortunately, USA politics and economics is affecting everyone right now and has been for over a century. The problem may self resolve in the next decade or two, assuming the human species survived that long.

Your point?

Even if you think you're getting away from USA politics and economics, it is still influencing other politics and economics, and I don't see how discussions can entirely avoid the elephant in the room.

Fuck, I can’t think of any.

Unfortunately, the US is taking advantage of this axiom. Their unfettered drive of “influential” content amounts to, essentially, an undeclared cultural invasion.
Sadly, just one lemmy instance doing this won’t change much. The US has been invested in destroying my country since the 1970’s.
I can’t say that Russia or China are any better, before anyone asks.

As a native born citizen of the US, I just wanted to say I feel bad that you feel the need to iterate this. I know a lot of asshats always make people who criticize the US clarify this, and I can only imagine it gets super annoying even having to do that the first time.
Your criticism of the US doesn’t preclude you to defend or criticize other nation-states, those are separate criticisms unless the topic is international relations, which it’s not in this case.
