    What bothers me is that they never mention context. They just start talking about laws or whatever in a random sub and never even bother to mention that they are from america. The rest of the world just doesn’t exist for americans.

      And when you mention how other countries are doing better and USA should copy them (like having ranked choice voting to rid the two-party system), Americans will either pretend they didn’t hear that or will go “wE aRe tOo dIvErSE fOr tHaT sHeEiItT”. I was told by someone that Americans generally do not want adopt a system from outside unless they made it themselves. So I guess nationalism also plays a role, too.

        Or, like this post, they lash out and tell you to mind your own business. And assume you know nothing about their system, just because Americans don’t care about anyone else’s.

        It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion and you just can’t look away.

        Lol there is a subreddit where they only post public disturbances in public transport, and I said 100% of the videos are from america, this doesn’t show public transport is bad. It just shows how bad america is. Boy did they get mad.

      when you see this happen by all means please call it out. americans deserve to be knocked down a peg in their presumption that they are the only country represented online.

      my only ask is once again not to do it by insult.
