    • post no. 10^23 that compares USA to a dystopia or a dictatorship

    As a non-westerner americans seem really out of touch—at least on the internet. I certainly agree that you need to have political awareness and make decisions that will benefit your country, but this constant stream of tweets and posts that act like living in USA is like living in an active warzone that will get usurped the next day by a dictator is insanely annoying—which is accentuated by the fact that many places on the internet, at least those that I use, are dominated by americans.

        I am certainly not trying to offend americans or any other group of people. Pointing out the country of origin of widely used inventions seems like vain patriotism. Do the Chinese tell you to stop using paper currency because you were dissatisfied with it, or complained about it at some time?

          No, but I’m not complaining about how Chinese people use paper currency and that it is made worse because so many Chinese people use paper currency. I’m sure if I did that, they would.

            I don’t know how you got the sense that I was complaining about “so many americans using the internet”. Just because I don’t like a set of posts made by a small group of people doesn’t mean that I have a disdain for the entirety of their countrymen who use the internet. Well, then again, I guess I should be on the North Korean network if I have a distate for certain things on the internet…
