    Americans are interested in American politics. Next thing you'll tell me is Europeans are interested in European politics. I never hear about Brexit...

    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.

    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:

    1. Western Europeans with a superiority complex with the US

    2. Western Europeans with an inferiority complex with the US

    3. 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).

    4. 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.

    I once got called a Republican by some angry leftists on Reddit because I said I wanted a house that came with a lot of land.

    That would be nice, especially if it were by a lake or ocean, but I'd have to hire someone to mow the lawn.

    I would have a small section near the house that I would use as a typical backyard, but I would want the majority of the land to be like a mini nature preserve (whether it's natural or engineered). Just chilling in your own slice of nature without the threat of government incompetence or corporate greed sounds great to me
