I can assure you that this is, in my experience, not the case, and every person I've ever had political discussions with is able to separate themselves from their government when they also disagree with that government's actions.
Yep. Me too.
If someone was critical of Britain because of The Crusades / Colonialism / Brexit / Simon Cowell it would not upset me in the slightest, because I too am not a fan of those things if they extrapolated problems with those things to a problem with all British people, that’s where I’d get upset.
I’m really struggling with the term ‘banging on’ and the fact you’re suggesting people without a connection to the area can’t have a strong view on it.
People around the world ‘banging on’ about South African apartheid helped end it. Not a perfect analogy but you get the point.
