Are there any communities that have good-faith criticism memes of the US? (lemmy.world)

I love the memes that pour out of [hostile community 1] and [hostile community 2], but inevitably when I participate in the comments under their posts, I'm bombarded with accusations of "trolling," "imperialist apologia," "racism," etc. because I disagree with some aspects of the the hyper-auth-left.

I just want a community that makes me laugh "hehe, that's a good point about that problem with the US" that isn't overrun with people doing mental gymnastics to paint anything I say as the worst thing anyone's ever said in the history of the internet and recreationally banning me for it.

Does such a place exist on the Fediverse (yet)?

I think I described them better, but you're welcome to carve out your own definition.

    I mean, you said.

    Left is the political “left,” generally proposing a “managed economy” or “regulations on businesses,” as opposed to the “right” which often values Laissez-faire capitalism.

    Which is just hilariously wrong.

    So im not sure how much stock to put in the rest of what you said

    As the post was recently un-removed (shout-out to the mod team here), we can continue the discussion here if you'd like:

    Your position is more or less that I am so terribly wrong that you're not going to bother educating me, correct?

    For the record I'm not trying to pester/harass/troll you as you suggested via DMs - I'd just rather move the conversation here. Feel free to screenshot the entire thing and put it in a reply for transparency and posterity's sake. Or don't reply if you're positive I'm a troll; that's fine too.
