It gets even worse when you see the mods dismissing this reasonable criticism as “trolling”. They have decided that this is their turf because they’ve gotten here first, regardless of utility or rationality. Pretty much describes the whole state of politics in their country.
Yeah no one is trolling. This is what we genuinely and sincerely believe.
The Americans trying to present themselves as the default is a significant problem brought about by their place in global hegemony. They do this and defend it viciously everywhere because they are nationalists, even the democrats are incredibly nationalistic.
Ideally as america declines and recedes from a position given to it by ww2 fucking the rest of the world over its population will slowly accept this and start acting like a normal country that accepts it is not the centre of all things and should not be treated as such. It is one country out of many and there is no reason it should not be treated and present itself just like all the other countries out there.
This will take a long time to happen though. American ego will need to be smashed first. As well as the incredible nationalism at the heart of most of the population, this is the hardest part though because americans see no problem with their nationalism, this despite the fact americans wave more flags everywhere than a nuremburg rally.
