Because I openly criticize my own nation and people? Maybe... You forgot to copy the "of ours" part... Sorry if you got hurt out of my comment, it was not my objective to hurt any feelings but only state what's really happening and that most might not realize as they're not in contact with it.

You should very probably make sure that your statements do not seem to come from Eliza. Substantiate them, ground them, make them defensible - and not oracular: if there are signs of, contextually, «brainwash[ing]» in the poster's statements, make them explicit. Eliza could have written what you did. And with that, you have been gratuitously offensive.

So, where do you see "brainwashing" there?
