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

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