I can't believe how brainwashed or ignorant some of these westerners are!
The Americans, Brits, Australians and many other European countries have invaded multiple countries just in the last couple of decades. They routinely drop bombs on civilian areas using drones and the conflicts have led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Asia and Africa.
Despite all this, it still would be plain stupidity to claim that American or British authors are somehow evil and need to be boycotted.
This might be a rant unrelated to the topic. But as an Asian it's hard not to notice the difference in the discourse when a fellow European country is now invaded. People act as if some never before heard of horror and barbarism has been unleashed, when their own nations were committing those same horrors on others.

Have you read any postcolonial critique of American and British lit, just as it exists for Russian lit?

When was the last time the west invaded and attempted to annex a democracy?

So not living in a democracy means that you, as an ordinary person, aren’t worth protecting?
