because surely he has nothing else to do right?
We should probably be thankful that that narcissistic manchild is so addicted to his social media. Imagine how much more destructive shit he could have accomplished if he actually put his mind to it.

No, I’m pretty sure it is Ziltoid1991 who are stereotyped to be into that.

No European country has it. And no neither of those laws are more specifically “19th century” than the other, considering they are both much much older than that. Perhaps you should read up on history for a bit before making uninformed blanket statements like that?

Oh wow, you are really doubling down on proving OPs point, aren’t you?

Who will fight that civil war? The American population is overfed and entertained and way too docile for such things.

It is interesting that you assume that breadbasket will not also be decimated by climate change.
- Comment on Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this? 1 month ago:
There are two levels of maga, the exploited and the exploiters.
For the moronic rubes who vote for it, it is purely about the bigotry. Their daily life is going to get fucked up in so many ways, but that is ok because minorities.
For the the psychos exploiting the endless maga train of morons it is pure grift.

Megalopolis suffered from unwilling distributors, so that easily explains its lack of PR and why you hadn’t heard about it. Not so with this movie.

Wrong number scam. Which will turn into a romance or pig butchering scam.

The World Wide Web is not an American invention. Who invented what is completely irrelevant in this context anyway though.
- Comment on I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US 5 months ago:
When non-native English speakers are navigating in a non-national internet setting we use English. I have gathered from the many American comments in this thread, that that fact is apparently incredibly difficult for Americans to gauge. Nevertheless, it is a fact.
- Comment on I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US 5 months ago:
Again, the numbers you linked shows that you are more likely to speak to a non-American on reddit than an American. Your entire premise is flawed from the beginning.
- Comment on I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US 5 months ago:
What I am saying is that of all Internet users that use English, Americans are by far the largest group
No, they didn’t misunderstand. It is you who are massively misunderstanding. You are suffering from the erronous assumption that people who speak English on the internet are native English speakers when that it is not so at all. People speak English on the internet because it is the largest commonly understood language. So people from non-English speaking countries are using it as well. And there are a heck of a lot more non-native English speakers in the world than native English speakers.
So you are most likely at any time on the internet to be speaking to a non-native English speaker, and thus definitely not an American.
- Comment on I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US 5 months ago:
Again, you are completely missing the point of the internet and English usage on it. People are using English as a lingua franca. There are a lot more non-native English speakers on the internet than native English speakers.
So no, odds are not that it is an American you are speaking to, just because that person speaks English. You are literally regurgitating the fallacy that OP is about.
- Comment on I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US 5 months ago:
The thing is we are not talking about visiting countries. We are talking about the World Wide Web.

What on Earth are you on about? “denigrate Americans”. They are pointing out facts. That you apparently are so fragile that you consider that denigration is entirely on yourself.
- Comment on I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US 5 months ago:
Your comment is very typical of that (fallacious) US centrism. People write in English on the internet because that is the universal language. There are far more secondary English speakers on the internet than primary English speakers.

People do live outside of North America. I know that must be news to you, but it is the truth.

But it is not a 0-100 scale. You have just arbitrarily picked out 0-100 because that makes your brain more easily understand the non-intuitive system which is fahrenheit.
