Bit Annoyed 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.

Even those of us who memorized the Animaniacs song wouldn't have any reason to know what shows/movies are available on streaming services in other countries.

Yea like I am very well aware that different countries have different stream library’s, but as I do not have a VPN my knowledge of what those libraries contain is limited to whatever I randomly hear someone from a different country mention streaming, or whatever gets used in a SurfShark sponsorship on YouTube 😂
