Had a comment https://lemmy.world/comment/24679032 that was removed due to rule 1 violation. I don't understand how I broke the rule. Is there some way to get an explanation on how my comment breaks the rule? I know that this could be used to concern troll, but I'm truly not understanding what was wrong with the comment.

I'd say it's the baseless projection of the crimes of western empire onto any possible alternative. This attitude has roots in chauvanism, the whole "if it wasn't the Americans doing it, it would be the Chinese!" completely butchers any sense of materialist analysis surrounding why the massacres happened under the US Empire, and foregoes any reasoning why China would do the same in favor of the idea that "big country bad."
