YSK that in all developed countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. The only exception is the United States. In the U.S., the opposite happened. People die in rising numbers

Boy I sure wonder why you post on Lemmy... /s
Sure, but does it make it less real?
Nah dude the world has just grown tired of American Exceptualism.
You shouldn’t be downvoted, this is yet another account that posts likely for sentiment shaping and immediately deletes their account. This sub is awash with it. I get that there’s a lot to dump on in regards to the US now more than ever but I’d really prefer it be organic posts from people who actually want to engage in the fediverse in good faith rather than whatever the fuck this manipulative bullshit is
its definitely bot behaviour, they do the same thing and then delete immediately on reddit too, usually coming from some kinda propaganda source. its a way to partially evade the filters.
Should people... Not be critical? There's always been so much glazing of the US throughout history
It’s not that they’re being critical, it’s that someone is being shady with some sort of motive. I don’t want the fediverse to get ruined with narrative attack bs, I want to talk to real humans who aren’t trying to manipulate me. If I was cool with that I’d just go back to Reddit.
The posters account is about a day old. For more context. (Voyager shows you an icon and age when accounts are new. Just like Apollo did)
And their account is now deleted. Definitely abnormal behavior.
Edit: it’s possible the voyager account age thing is confused by the deleted account.
It's the astroturfing that's objectionable.
Critical of bots? Yes. Among other things.
Throughout history? Whose?
The USA's international opinion has been on the downtrend for like 20 years, with its precipitous drop like 10 years ago.
It's not the '90s anymore; the only people pushing American exceptionalism are ignoramuses and jingoists who will do that regardless of any facts, not normal citizens.
Always be critical of the source. That's not to say you shouldn't ever be critical of the content obviously.
Lmao they deleted the entire account when called out. Sketchy af.
huh!
Damn, right in the american exceptionalism! Butthurt much that the flaws of the US are being exposed?
You say all of those things as if it were specific to anti-USA posting. Lemmy is ripe and full of anti-China and anti-Russia AstroTurf-seeming accounts:
A post a week ago made a brief list of some accounts (not complete by any means)
Uh huh. Yeah okay.
We've had enough projection for a lifetime this decade.
Good! These post are a good reminder that this isn't reddit.
Don't like it? You can go back to US propaganda sites.
