As an American, we deserve the derision. Please, continue shaming us, maybe some day people will get sick enough of it to try to prove them wrong. That's proba

As an American, we deserve the derision. Please, continue shaming us, maybe some day people will get sick enough of it to try to prove them wrong.
That's probably asking too much, though.
- hinkley 11mo agoAs an American who usually gets mistaken for a Canadian while traveling, I know that some of us know they aren’t talking about us, but also that the people who they are talking about aren’t even in the conversation. It’s effectively talking about people behind their back which is not that useful.
- gnarlouse 11mo agoWhen I say "the uneducated states" I'm referring to general trends: - lack of technological fluency - lack of mathematical/scientific fluency - lack of financial fluency - lack of political fluency - lack of critical thinking skills - willful engagement with streaming psy-op platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Tiktok
- hinkley 11mo agoAgreed. And one of those six maybe applies to me. So I don’t sweat it, unless someone is being very broad and loud with the finger pointing.
- yurishimo 11mo agoNetflix a wild one to include in that list, imo. What makes you think it's on the same level? If you're making some reference to "cultural importance" I would wager that ABC/CBS in the 90s had just as strong a pull as Netflix does today culturally.
- relaxing 11mo agoThe right wing nut jobs are most definitely in the conversation here.
