    That’s what I meant by causality. Pro-americanism and anti-americanism are not inherently dogmatic. It’s just that the anti-american sentiments I see on lemmy are usually dogmatic. It’s an observational theorem, not a derived one.

          “Anti-Americanism is bad” -> “It’s not really Anti-American, it’s Anti-America” -> “Dogmatism and belief in something while ignoring countering facts is bad”

          It’s an assertion of dogmatism on the Anti-America crowd with no real frame of reference.
