First rule of the internet: you're not allowed to criticise the US government. If you do, you will be accused of being a Russian troll.
Where in the internet are you where you cannot criticize American politics? /r/conservative?
That's the only corner of the internet where Ive ever seen that behavior.
I'm pretty sure the parent comment is whining because their "CIA caused Ukraine to hate Russia" argument falls flat in the face of overwhelming evidence that Putin and his gang of oligarchs are giant war-mongering douchebags.
The internet laughs at the USA for it's stupid politics. Random internet user/troll: you can't criticize American politics!!!
Bruh, do you even know what site you're on?
I do not like the policies and ideals of the current US government. I harshly criticize them! Nyah!

crickets chirping -
Looks like I'm good. Plus I can eat the crickets.
Personally I dislike their restrictions on people’s bodily autonomy, their pandering to the right wing, and their opposition to the seizure of the means of production by the working class. Their refusal to take sufficient action in the face of the climate crisis, and refusal to fund passenger rail is also big. Further discontent is imperialism at home and abroad as well as our treatment of our indigenous peoples and our refusal to give land back so they can steward it in the responsible ways that they did for thousands of years.
I really dislike this government. But it’s not forcing you to eat bugs. It’s subsidizing the shit out of meat and should stop doing that. Y’all need beans and mushrooms instead but if you’d prefer bugs instead or alongside I’ll let you enjoy them
You seem fun. However, I never offered you any of my crickets.
Do you know it’s possible to be aware of every single atrocity committed in our names and still have a sense of proportion and an awareness of what makes for effective speech in an open forum?
Sorry I was replying to you in agreement while directing my comment at the person you replied to. When I say it like this I get how that comes off. Fuck this right wing conspiracy
Lol no you can criticize the US anywhere that isn't a conservative "patriot" safe space.
Lol. Fuck America, and all the corporate pigs that run this shit show. There! Mwahaha.
