The number of so-called “good side” USians responding to you without a clue that they are also infected with the ‘American exceptionalism’ brainworms is ridiculous. It’s as if these people genuinely believe that every English-speaking creature on the internet is USian despite it being the lingua franca. Meanwhile, I’d bet you any money they have no fluffing idea what is going on in my country in relation to the liberation of Indigenous Australians. All while I know all too much about what’s happening to PoC and trans people in theirs. But they will swamp you and attack you for ‘not caring’ anyway. As if looking at memes online is going to make a meaningful difference at all to what is happening just past their own doorsteps.
