It was made on an international forum.

Regardless of how America-centric imperialist the comment was, it was written to everyone because it's on an international forum without specifying it was for residents of some specific country only.

What happens in the head of the person talking 8s not relevant. What is relevant is what they end up actually saying.

Something in the ballpark of 19 out of 20 people on our planet are other than US residents. It is not okay to write a comment with an assumption that the remaining 95 % don't exist. There are US-only forums, and you can outright say that you're addressing US residents only. Everything else is targeting everyone.

It's a comment on an article about American politics, specifically referring to the issues mentioned in the article. Context is a thing.

On an international forum. If you're talking on an international forum, you're talking to an international audience. Behave that way.

Context is a thing.

international audience

I'm an Asian, you're preaching to the choir. Or what, did you assume I was American? Tsk, that American exceptionalism.

OP should have included the country in the title, since that was relevant info. Beyond that though, the comment is clearly linked to the article. You're the only one present who can't seem to read the context.

did you assume I wad American?

No, I didn't.
