    First, thanks for the tone of being open to listen.

    What I mean is:

    An American person would never have have enough room to bring a controversial opinion on taboo topics.

    So for instance an American would not have room to challenge the pro-aboriton or usage of neopronouns (because left says it’s a taboo to go against it)

    And also an American would not have room to go against pro- Israel snetiment (because right say it’s a taboo to go against it).

    So it takes a non-western press to break the taboo.

    Every civilization/people/group/country has some taboos which make them blind. And only external civilizations can challenge that.

    I hope my answer was par with the level of trust you gave me.

    If not, I’m sorry

      It sounds like you’re saying Americans don’t have the freedom to voice unpopular opinions.

      Respectfully, that’s a load of BS.

      I hear PLENTY from people wanting to outlaw abortion or even birth control. When I say “Free Palestine” I may have to debate someone who supports ethnic cleansing, but that is the hallmark of healthy dialogue.

      Americans don’t need to get their talking points from Russia.

      what the fuck are you talking about? you can advocate your view - we have freedom of speech, the government won’t stop you.

      There’s tons of pro and anti-israeli sentiment to be found.

      You just don’t’ want people to criticize you, and your idiotic decisions.

      You don’t get that here. Go to russia if you want that.
