I know how you feel but you have to understand that the memes are not about you personally. We know that most Americans on lemmy are the cool ones. The ones that don't have guns and are not afraid of socialism. The memes are about the other Americans and, you know, we're just joshing. I though that's obvious, that's why I asked why everyone is suddenly so touchy about it. Usually the cool Americans are in on the joke. Now they are all sensitive about it. It's just weird.

Ok, I see we have run out of memes and are staring to repost everything again. Time to start new service guys.
"It doesn't exist in my bubble so the researchers are wrong".
Oh, I see where you got confused. When people say 'Americans do something' they mean 'most Americans do it' or 'significant portion of American population do it', not 'all Americans do it'. You see, countries are big and there are a lot of people in them and it very rare for everyone in a country to think exactly the same. That's why we usually focus on the prevailing attitudes that shape the country over the years instead of looking for believes shared by ALL citizens (because they don't exists). Currently over 40% of Americans believe that "God has granted America a special role in human history" and it was way higher in the not so distant past, that's why someone could say that "Americans believe it". Hope this helps.
Personally I think it will be like Beggars and Choosers.

Americans: USA is the greatest country in the world. Behold our God given rights and freedoms! We're number 1! We're exceptional! U! S! A! U! S! A!
Europeans: Actually it's pretty arrogant to think your country is so much better than all the other. All countries have flaws and strengths. For example USA have problems with gun violence and healthcare.
Americans: How dare you make fun of our national tragedies! Can't you see we're suffering here? You're making fun of dead children! You MONSTERS!!
Not that's a meme. Which template should I use?
Sadly only the tiny part actually interacting with foreigners online realize this and even they react with anger.
Who's saying that? Who's we? I think you're confusing mentioning something with endorsing it.
Why Americans are suddenly so touchy about their school shootings, obesity and healthcare?
Looks like Synthetics and Cottons at 60° and 1200RPM. But my guess is that all programs will send data.
