I experience the opposite. Whenever I criticise US government, I get attacked by hordes of cringy Americans.
is there any chance you are doing it while spouting Kremlin propaganda? because then there is maybe a time to look in the mirror on this one
Imagine living in the west and genuinely believing that it's Kremlin propaganda that's the problem.
More than one thing can be wrong at the same time. The constant whataboutism is exhausting...
whataboutism is what hypocrites say when challenged.
The only thing exhausting is people using whataboutism to make false equivalents and avoid genuine discussion. People are subjected to orders of magnitude more US propaganda than Russian propaganda, and it clearly has a much greater effect on public opinion. Thanks to people being indoctrinated into US propaganda, they dismiss legitimate problems as fictional Russian propaganda. The fact that you can't comprehend this illustrates the problem perfectly.
