I personally don’t care that if I can’t get into the USA, I’ve never wanted to visit. What am I gonna see? Roads? Walmarts?

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

They're not entirely wrong though?
The US is 1.867% of the world's landmass, ignore Antarctica and you still have 95% of the world to see. It's a young country so the density of historically significant things even in major cities is pretty low compared to Europe and a lot of urban development is in fact suburbs (so roads and outlets and big stores). It's big so it's varied but take the same size of territory and check what you get anywhere else and it's the same thing... Heck, culturally speaking you'll have more variety over a much smaller territory in most of the world because countries are smaller...
I made the decision to not go to the USA anymore after 2016 and don't miss it one bit, plenty of awesome stuff to see elsewhere...
Where will you find the grand canyon or any other national wonder?
The post pokes fun at Tankie's inability to see anything more than their ideas of capitalism, and their pretend version of communism.
I mean, in most european countries you can see both nature and awesome architecture.
No shit.
Again, it's disingenuous to say that any country is just roads and shops.
