Anyway, that's my "context"

And what I posted is mine. The typical manifestation is when you criticize something in America and it draws the response, "You always blame America first!", which is a sign of insufficient patriotism since the point is now couched in one's love for America relative to other countries.

Which had nothing to do with the original point but this is rhetorical authoritarianism, a cheap trick to stifle dissent in the name of loving one's country.
