A community to discuss and oppose the USA's cultural imperialism, a bit like the .ml community NoYank, except with a better ideological basis and less reactionary mod. The name is just a suggestion and the exact scope can still be worked out.

NoYank's mod was banned from Hexbear yesterday, then unbanned today, and then I was myself banned from NoYank for pointing out that the mod had been unbanned from Hexbear, so that's basically why I'm making this request now.
The ideological basis of /c/antiseptic, by the way, at least if I'm the one to run this comm, would basically hold that (")American(") media and culture is not inherently bad, and non-(")American(") media and culture is not inherently good. Which is to say, it would follow my ideas of the "U-S-A (Usonian-Seppo-American) tripartite division", "bourgeois vs proletarian anti-English", "marked Americanness", "settler hemorrhage", and whatever other ideas I have floating around in my noggin to make sense of my peculiar existence as an American born and raised and still living in Europe. This, I think, is my "leg up" so to speak, compared to someone like Frightful Hobgoblin, who is just a regular-ass, relatively-privileged, titular-nationality European, whose understanding and critique of "America" can only go so deep.

LMAO ol' Frightful was saying I had a "vendetta"? A "vendetta" of all things? Now as far as I can remember, the comment that got me banned from NoYank said something like, "Look at that, Lemmy's number one 'antiseptic' is back in my feed posting some more quality Irish tunes. I thought you'd been banned permanently but apparently I'd misunderstood and that was only for a day. Despite yesterday's ordeal I'm still glad to see you back, fighting the good fight."
Frankly, even as I was writing that comment, a voice was telling me that I was being too lenient about things that I would normally consider unforgivable, that this cautious optimism and willingness to forgive I had was undue for the gravity of what had occurred and the repeated nature of the offenses... But it would seem that acknowledging that wrongdoings had taken place at all, was to the hobgoblin not lenient enough, as if they'd rather be seen as infallible than forgiven. What a dishonest soul!
