Anyone who says “death to America” - I don’t wanna be the kind of person who says “yet you live in jsociety”, but you’re saying this as an American citizen - you’re exercising your right to fhe freedom of speech, as per the First Amendment (which also includes the freedoms of religion, of the press, to assemble peacefully, and to redress grievances). I assume you’d change your mind and say you love America if they elected a socialist president.
But who am I to judge? Trump is an a-hole who’s very greedy to the point where he wants Venezuelan oil. Seriously!
It’s a materialist approach to deconstruct what it means. It’s always good to seek where information is coming from, who is saying it and why, otherwise it is easy to fall into reactionary behaviour ripe for and often bred from misunderstandings. In this case:
The slogan has historically been contextualized as a reaction to the U.S. government’s policies towards Islamic countries and merely an expression of outrage at those policies, not a wish for literal death for American people themselves.[13] In a speech to university students, Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei interpreted the slogan as “death to the U.S.'s policies, death to arrogance”.[14]
In other words… Before reacting to inflammatory phrases, it’s important to understand their actual meaning, cultural context, and who’s using them and why - things often get misunderstood across language/cultural barriers.
Who’s saying this “as an American citizen”? I’m not, tf. I’m banned from entering the US lmao, as are most people on Earth at this point. “Everyone on the internet is American” ass comment. Most people hate the country that invades them and bleeds them dry of every resource.

What makes you assume we’re American citizens?
You’re NOT from the US? Just asking.
Americans and their stupid US-centrism… No, we’re not all from the US. Stop assuming that everyone you meet on the Internet is.
No yeah, you did the yet you live in society thing. Stfu liberal.
“You say death to the king, yet you live on His land by His beneficence. Hypocrite much?”
Consider the phrase’s history and note it’s likely a mistranslation. It has a deeper meaning than it’s surface.
