I work with a lot of people who have very little experience of the world outside of this beautiful, but small and quiet place

I regularly hear them spouting off opinions on things that they have absolutely no idea about, and they invariably bring up stupid 'Murican shit (I live a long way from the US)

They're getting their opinions from Facebook and the like, and it's painful

Yeah, who says there isn't monoculture anymore. It was co-opted by these big tech companies. It exists in the form of people all repeating the same shit they saw on their social media feeds.
