Which is fine, as long as a given _individual_ is consistent.
For example, I complain about non-retaliatory coercion wherever I see it, including nationalized industries in other countries, the TSA, and US government-granted monopolies to telecom companies.
America is an _extremely_ diverse place, and generic online American-bashing just isn't appropriate (despite being quite popular), so please try to avoid it.
- rhizome 14y agoI believe that there are governmental-media tendencies that create institutional criticisms rooted in hypocrisy. See also: stereotyping and bigotry, and as an example I would say the US's unified message that nationalizing oil in Venezuela was bad is an example of this kind of bigotry. I'm also a lifelong Californian, so follow your own advice regarding diversity when condescending that my criticism necessarily depends on regional ignorance or outsiderism.
