Americans are really annoying. They ruin the internet with their ability to turn ANYTHING and EVERYTHING into American politics. Even if it's about a cat on the opposite side of the world.
My favourite is posting a comment and having someone say "you voted for Biden, didn't you?". Nah, bro, I stepped foot in your country once and was mugged at gun point. I will never be back, let alone a fucking citizen of that shit hole.
Americans are interested in American politics. Next thing you'll tell me is Europeans are interested in European politics. I never hear about Brexit...
Whats your point?
Americans bring their politics into everything. "Europeans" (such a generalization), bring their politics into posts that pertain to it.
Americans being upset because Starfield has pronouns is annoying. You don't really see "Europeans", Canadians, Mexicans, etc. crying about it. Just citizens of the USA.
You had a point, but then you started blaming the Americans for everything. Yeah, Americans pretty much just forget that there exist tons of people on the internet who aren’t American, but that doesn’t mean that all Americans just bring politics into everything.
Secondly, stop trying to blame others for things you have no idea who did. Sounds like you’ve got a similar problem to many Americans, where you’ll see some fair-right homophobic dude on the internet and think, “ugh, stupid Americans,”. Yeah, many Americans can be narrow-minded at times, but that doesn’t mean you project your opinion on that entire country.
