"Everyone" being... everyone in Europe?

The average American I come across (at least online) very vocally can't be arsed. I don't mean in a general sense, I mean even in a left AF space like Lemmy, the average American user will argue up and down why a revolution in the US right now just "isn't feasible" and "we're all one paycheck away-" as repeated justification for kowtowing. I guess I get it, after all remember how no one ever revolted in France because they were all one loaf away from starvation?

Oh, wait a minute.

Both of you maybe? Why did Democrat took it personally anyway?

it feels like these are a bunch of buzzwords to likefarm instead of actually saying anything. No, i don't think the average republican / American is fully unprejudiced and benevolent. but to say an entire half of the country wants slavery back is nonsense

Wow, some slight critisism about this meme and it gets removed? ....

And for misinformation no less, that was the reason given.

Can someone help a poor lemming and point to the "misinformation" that warrants the following remark to get deleted? I'm very open to dialogue :)

"It's not that i don't get the sentiment, but these extremely biased posts don't really add much to the discussion either -_-... If we're gonna go with the worst of what's claimed about the right wing, shouldn't you contrast it with the worst of what is claimed about the left wing? "One side wants to bring back slavery, nazis, fascism, and women not being allowed to vote or own property. The other side just wants to let foreigners invade our country, and let them rape our women and children." This post returns here every month or so, and i really hate it. I kind of get the sentiment obviously, but this "lets put the worst things claimed about the others be contrasted to the best things we think about ourselves", are just preaching for the choir, and just sowing extra division in an already extremely divided world. You know that what you claim about the right may have some truth, but is far from the accepted position. And you also know there are equally bad claims about the left from the right, that also have some truth in them... I wish this was the last time i'd see this silly post here, but that's wishful thinking i guess...."
