Consider to what extent you're steeped in the mire accumulated from being very-online. If you agreed with everything else, then that should give you pause on why you're so hesitant or resistant to that usage.

- wait_a_minute 3y agoAgreeing with everything and then being trained like Pavlov's dogs to hate a word is not the red scare.
- john-radio 3y agoIt's that the poster didn't give any supporting comment to their claim that a lot of [the idealogy that is being foisted on the minds?] is "even anti-American". Claiming something is un-American is fine. We're (mostly?) red-blooded Americans here. However, pointing at something and saying it's un-American and expecting the crowd to gasp in horror and join you in denouncing it, is a very clear signal of a Fox-news-or-something-deadened brain.
- subtra3t 3y agoI think you are partially correct in your judgement of me, though probably not for the reasons you think. If I didn't use the Internet I wouldn't know what the term 'anti-American" meant. Nobody I know uses that word and no books I read or movies I watch mention it too. It is a term that I've encountered only on the internet. As a result, my connotation of the word depends largely on how the internet uses it. On the websites I visit, the term "anti-American" is usually used to justify hate against minorities or some other segment of society. I'm sure it is used in different contexts too (in other parts of the internet), but not on the parts of internet I usually browse.
