I just found out that Osama Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” has been doing its rounds on TikTok but I haven’t seen anything about it been posted here on Lemmy about it. Perhaps people already know about it, I’m not sure. This is a link to the wayback machine. The original in the guardian has just been deleted after being online for 20 years.
As a non-American, I always saw the “freedom fries” thing as a mockery of Americanism, I’m having a hard time believing this was a non-satirical idea.
No, the “Freedom fries” was all too real. It was actually used in cafeterias in the US Congress and the trend took off from there.
Another thing that actually did happen was a few US civilians attacked American Sikhs and even killed a few because they wore turbans.
