Did you lie, or did you feel filthy and disgusting having to tell them the truth lol.

I sailed there in my boat a few hundred years ago and then left again.

How many lemmings here got permabanned from reddit? I've gone through I lost count, at least 6 accounts there, I abandon them after a second violation with the 3 day ban. Usually quit for an extended period of time after out of anger. Time before this I found lemmy so trying to stay off more here. It's like with a new account you are fine, but once an account gets hot they find an excuse to violate you, not a valid excuse either, stuff no reasonable person would think is a violation.

This is not a love song.

No, the imperialistic "I must dominate every space I find myself in" attitude is pretty ingrained in Americans, regardless of if they embrace it in themselves or not. Anything from "I must make everyone aware of how bad I feel about my terrible country" to "I must force every country and culture in the world to follow my value system" to just sucking the air out of any room they're in by making sure that they are the loudest and most visible person around. They come from a culture where everyone is trying to be the tallest poppy. Most of the world by varying degrees generally trims the tallest poppy. It's not without issues but I could write a hell of a rant on how the tall poppy thing has been painted in overly negative light thanks to American hyper-individualistic sensibilities worming their way into the general consciousness (and don't confuse me for a tankie, that's like cutting the whole field if one poppy grows too tall).

Maybe not all Americans go out with the intent to conquer. But very few Americans seem to actually ask themselves if maybe for FUCKING ONCE they could just shut the fuck up, sit quietly in the corner and give their attention to someone else. But no, even if magically all Americans took what I just said to heart, they'd FLOOD social media with posts about themselves sitting quietly in the corner. They'd make sure that everyone knows just how quiet and invisible they are. They would keep their mouth shut but paint a massive red circle and arrows on the wall behind them, and they'd definitely try to be better at it than the other guy. This is the American mentality.

Try reading comprehension.

It is a pretty bullshit take by the mod, but being a mod he should have been more thoughtful of his words in my opinion
