(Sorry for the late reply, I’m a lemm.ee refuge & I’m still looking for my next home instance, nowdays I mainly use lemmy.zip or thelemmy.club, same username.)

Oh, I’m def not a tankie, I just see a lot of “USA gloriously won the WWII” oneliners & I might overcorrect sometimes.

I live in EU, not that far from a USA military base with USA nuclear weapons & have seen USA influences on early school textbooks (eg the food pyramid).

I often say we are “colonies” too - but with like quotation marks so that it’s obvious from the context that I do not mean that we like pay literal taxes & get our government directly picked by USA (so no, South Korea isn’t a literal colony, just perhaps gets more influenced by USA than their other main trading partners bcs of political relations).
(Also in EU NATO countries - it’s not like the relationships to USA aren’t fairly one-sided, my country def won’t get a permanent military base on USA soil if it wished that for some reason.)

I’m not here to make the comms I moderate a safe space for campists and fascists or their talking points.

Fair enough (& I’m glad if that is your goal), but perhaps consider making at least a broad, generalized list of what that is (the rules section, which I generally actually read, is very short iirc).

I’m not that educated in such subculture things* & honestly had no idea that would be against the comms rules - ie if “USA colonialism/imperialism”, or whatever a better description of that is, would be mentioned in the rules, then it’s obvious that it’s off the table & just wouldn’t talk about that (I’m compliant to ones house rules in general/in principle).

Without your reply here I would have never known why I go bananered (I’m not even arguing the ban, but it actually makes a difference in my life just known the reason/understanding the mechanic, so thx for that).

*I mean that bcs my mind doesn’t organise things by people, eg I rarely/never take sides where all arguments of one side are automatic bs & the other sides arguments are fine.
