Sure, not knowing it’s the US constitution is reasonable if not from the US
However, I think one could take a reasonable guess that if the first word of a constitution wasn’t a pronoun, this post probably wasn’t about that specific constitution
Why would someone post something like OP without stating what constitution it is? Do they expect only americans to read it? Maybe keep your american jokes in american specific communities.
Youre technically right, it could have been clearer by explicitly stating it. Still, Im positive that 99.9% understood immediately, including them. Its like saying something about Trump and someone comments “how was I supposed to know youre talking about Donald Trump and not Carl Philipp Trump”
Thats not in the least what Im saying. I actually had no idea about the wording of the US constitution before this post. But how many other fascist governments actively attacking LGBTQ rights in the last few weeks do you know? I honestly dont think anyone would have thought this was not about the US. Maybe if you havent watched the news once for the last month.
Australian conservatives absolutely use that rhetoric to attack LGBTQ people, but you don’t know that because you don’t watch Australian news, even though you expect Australians to have watched American news.

Im still not buying that 99% of news on Lemmy is about US fascism and news in almost every country report about it and Australians see a meme about fascism and assume its about them, not even doubting that it could be about an other constitution. That would say way more about Australians than Americans.
If there was a meme saying “Russian troops during the invasion:” or some shit, would Australians comment “I didnt know we are being invaded by Russia”?
How am I meant to know about every other country’s constitution?

Its not reasonable, theyre trolling. It couldnt have been clearer.
They’re obviously being facetious but it absolutely could have been clearer.

Lol “it’s unreasonable for foreigners to not know the text of our constitution!”.
American stereotype.
