I experience the opposite. Whenever I criticise US government, I get attacked by hordes of cringy Americans.

I must say I had a pleasant conversation on workers’ rights in the US recently on c/technology (lemmy.world). By pleasant I mean “not being insulted because I live in France and workers do have rights so I’m a red commie” pleasant.

For the majority of Americans, as long as you are a pleasant person, you will have pleasant conversations.
