It’s really curious to see how Americans will post “Haha, your President is a funny color!”, then applaud themselves for being bold and transgressive.
But when you see an American posts “Jesus, that’s some hollow, ugly, bigotry. Why are you attacking a person for their skin color? You should know better”, they’re bombarded with downvotes for being hack while implicitly accused of being an agent of a foreign power.
Really illustrates what “Freedom of Speech” amounts to in a Settler Colonial state.
