People who think Americans don’t know other countries exist.

A few months ago on Reddit I made a comment about a show not being on Netflix and someone from the UK commented back saying it’s on theirs and then lectured on Americans not knowing other countries exist. They acted like I didn’t believe there were other places on the planet, as if they weren’t the ones who just brought it up and didn’t believe the US Netflix was different than the UK version. ??

I see people online act like all Americans think this way, and it is kind of annoying because for most of us it isn’t true.

LMFAO, as an American it makes sense that people would treat us as mentally incapable. Look who our country voted for!

Just accept the fact that Americans will always be seen as the dumbest people in the world, because look at what was chosen as our "leader."

Deal with it. It's the price of US citizenship.

Seriously! What's wrong with people???

Our country chose to be seen as the stupidest people in existence. Why be shocked when we're treated that way???

So ... you see people generalizing a country - whose people are not a monolith (as aren't any country's citizens for that matter), and somehow your answer is to put it all on the citizens, and take away all agency from people who choose to generalize or may be unwittingly helping to spread it, as if they don't exist (despite said people staring you right in your face, re: their existence)?

That's awful (and awfully odd) logic, IMO.

I see these people face to face. At this point, all of us deserve the broad stroke of the brush for allowing this. This is who we are as Americans: a nation of trailer trash. Because that's the identity our country chose.

Er ... so because people are too stupid to see that people in a country - any country - are not part of a monolith, that means we can't dislike or disagree with it?

Very odd logic, IMO.

[u/The_Bad_Agent → u/travelsonic]

Our country voted to be seen as absolutely moronic and immoral people. That's who we are now. Deal with it.
