[Retracted] Requesting approval for the creation of a community: LemmyHatesUSA

Never mind. I don't want to deal with it. I got excited for a little, but after sitting on it for a while, I realize that I rather not. Sorry and thanks!

Dessalines the creator of lemmy made this exhaustive list of US atrocities. If you read it you might get an idea of why most of us hate the evil empire.

- Thanks! That looks like a pretty good list. Are there lists of the atrocities other countries have committed too?
  
  The reason there are not other lists like that is because you can find endless (often fabricated or overblown) lists from major "journalist" outlets accusing other countries of atrocities, which often overlook the worst offender of them all.
  
  You are not gonna find much interest in the community you are looking to create. Reddit would be a better avenue for this, because it basically already is that.
  
  Edit: Sorry I am not upholding the hexbear reputation of hostility so let me be a little more blunt: Piss off lib.
  
  Also what you are doing with this comment is the exact sort of whataboutism liberals constantly accuse the left of.
In bad country they keep a database of citizens who criticize their government.
Lmao volunteer hall monitor energy.

Also, while I’ll proudly state I hate the US with my full chest, I think it’s telling that you want to log people merely criticizing it. Go touch grass or something. We only get one life to live fam, I promise, at the end of your days you’re not looking back at this embarrassing shit thinking it was time well spent.
- for real I was not always the principled revolutionary but even in my younger days I at least had good enough instincts to know the US is the most evil country in the world, propping up all the lesser evils (Israel, Saudi Arabia, etc)
  
  I’m guessing you’ve also never had the instinct to be a low rent snitch either. Some folks just built different I guess
Damn I wonder why so many people from around the world hate the US that's craaazy first time I'm hearing of it. I know there are some books out there like Killing Hope and The Jakarta Method but I'm always way too obsessed with niche forum comments to learn anything useful.
I like this idea it would be great to network with like minded individuals from other instances who also hate the USA
Are you aware that Reddthat has disabled downvotes, and so would your potential community here as well?
- Yes, votes wouldn't matter really. It's not about voting. It's about keeping track.
  
  Also, you are aware that Reddthat is Australian, right? Maybe a bit ironic to host a community listing hate against USA on a non-USA instance
  
  About the whole community, if you launch it, you would probably see something like ShitUSAys as Lemmy version of ShitAmericansSay as a counterbalance.
  
  Not sure if there is a need for such communities to keep track on how much crap citizens of different countries say.
