      Top image is Bolivian students being rounded up by the CIA-backed military in 1971.

      Middle picture is the US invasion of Panama in 1989.

      Bottom picture is current Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó, and a certain US president who seems interested in removing Nicolás Maduro.

    I had a Lemmy user call me a liar because I said I was born in a country bombed and couped by Americans, apparently the 1980s have been forgotten, or education is so bad that young people really are ignorant about the atrocities their country has committed. I’ve been banned from Lemmy communities for being “racist towards Americans” when I call out that they’re a terrorist nation. American isn’t a race. And telling Americans they wrecked my country isn’t racism

      I can confirm that, at least for me, these things aren’t taught. I only learned about them when visiting the affected countries.

      The average Lemmy user was born after 9-11 and thinks that was probably staged like the moon landing. I wouldn’t take it too seriously.
