Hello, Im kind of new here and trying to get used to Lemmy and I was wondering about if this is true since I am considering donating on this site to support alternative projects but wanted to hear other users before doing so. That being said, what have been your experiences?

    opposing Western imperialism

    I get the sentiment, but this usually boils down to blaming everyone on the Western hemisphere for what the US is doing.

    I really wish these attitudes would take into account the other dozen countries like my own that largely keep to themselves.

    So yeah, boo!

      I’m gonna guess… Portugal! I can’t think of anything they’ve done -recently- that’s overtly imperialistic? Ireland?
      You’d best not be British, German, French, Italian, Romanian, Czech, Hungarian, Austrian, Polish or Israeli, though.

          Oh shit! Mexico is indeed pretty blameless, except for the apparent heinous crime of existing next to the USA.
          Tell me though, is it true that everything is in sepia there? I only have US-made movies and TV to go off, so of course I’m assuming that’s 100% accurate. Is it still sepia at night? If you fly into Mexico does it flick to sepia instantly or is it more like a slow transition that you hardly notice? Who pays for all the yellow pigment?

            Yes! Everything’s sepia. If your filter is malfunctioning, you’re required to wear your government-sponsored filter glasses instead.
