Whats your point?
Americans bring their politics into everything. "Europeans" (such a generalization), bring their politics into posts that pertain to it.
Americans being upset because Starfield has pronouns is annoying. You don't really see "Europeans", Canadians, Mexicans, etc. crying about it. Just citizens of the USA.
You had a point, but then you started blaming the Americans for everything. Yeah, Americans pretty much just forget that there exist tons of people on the internet who aren’t American, but that doesn’t mean that all Americans just bring politics into everything.
Secondly, stop trying to blame others for things you have no idea who did. Sounds like you’ve got a similar problem to many Americans, where you’ll see some fair-right homophobic dude on the internet and think, “ugh, stupid Americans,”. Yeah, many Americans can be narrow-minded at times, but that doesn’t mean you project your opinion on that entire country.
Bro that one guy screaming about pronouns who inspired a new wojak literally has a British accent.
Are you really that dense? Just because someone has a British accent doesn't make them British. Bet you think born and raised Mexicans need to go back to Mexico, eh?
No, but I do think you need to go back under the bridge where you came from.
Based on my time on the internet, the region with the most annoying political users is Europe. They almost always fall under one of these four categories:
Western Europeans with a superiority complex with the US
Western Europeans with an inferiority complex with the US
Eastern Europeans who want to ethnically cleanse each other (Serbia and Albania, Greece and Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkey, Bosnia and Serbia, Poland and Belarus, Poland and Russia, Russia and Ukraine, Ukraine and Hungary, and the list goes on and on).
Ultra racist tankies, islamists, or neo nazis who want to see the collapse of the EU, the eradication of immigrants, and "independence from US occupation"
Per capita, they're second to none in ignorance, arrogance, and sheer whininess. However, they tend to get drowned out by the sheer amount American users on any given platform.
