I experience the opposite. Whenever I criticise US government, I get attacked by hordes of cringy Americans.
- I must say I had a pleasant conversation on workers’ rights in the US recently on c/technology (lemmy.world). By pleasant I mean "not being insulted because I live in France and workers do have rights so I’m a red commie" pleasant.
- Little do people know everyone is shit and your personality that is only based on ideologies makes you look like a moron. Yes we know there is unfairness in the world. But any “ism” won’t fix it.

  Least of all quietism like you display
  
  Little do people know everyone is shit
  People who say this think they're being world-wise when they're actually just putting out a general warning about themselves
  
  Doomerism be like:
  
  "No Lives Matter" type beat
  
  Just because you don’t care to look into it doesn’t mean you don’t prescribe to any ism
  In fact, people who say shit like that most definitely do
  
  True statement, but wtf? I don't think you mean it in a positive way like I do.
  
  I do mean it positively, but I can understand why you would get a negative reading. I was trying to illustrate how reducing words to their components and dismissing them like that is such a stupid thought terminating cliche. Botulism, anarchism, autism, midwesternism, descriptivism are all words ending in -ism but really do not refer to similar or comparable things. The deeper idea that subscribing to or employing an ideology inherently leads to failure, which the original comment asserted, has already been torn to shreds by others, so I targeted the less important but more annoying failure of thought. I should have more carefully selected my words, sorry.
  
  Thank you for replying, and I'm sorry I read your comment in bad faith. I should know you better than that by now, and I apologize.
  
  No worries. Like I said, I should have gone with botulism or descriptivism, to make sure there was no misreading.
