I hate this idea of “us defaultism” being labeled on anything that even remotely involves the US. This isnt us defaultism, this is someone from the US sharing something about the US worded to be for someone for the US. I see this numerous different times with different topics for different countries, but I don’t go “oh this is German defaultism, oh this is Zimbabwean defaultism.” It’s a fun fact that you’re taking too seriously because you have a hate boner for the US, which is honestly fair.
I world disagree because vast majority of the posts from different countries are labeled so (e.g. “In Germany, we had so and so”). Posts from US are almost never labeled so, hence the “defaultism”

That person assumed everyone would be from the US, wich is not true, hence defaultism.
