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.
So it's a vibe you personally feel, and wished to interject unrelated, got it.
How is it not related?
"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.
More of an accusation than an assertion.
