Christ, yes. Every other comment or post was something that assumed everyone was in the USA, or that they were the greatest most perfect wonderful nation and all others are basically hell on earth.

Literally full of shit lmao. Who on reddit mainstream is talking about how the US is the greatest place on Earth.

Usually its the entire other way around where Reddit is acting like the apocalypse is about to start at any point.

Here's a new one for this thread. "People who complain about Americans over the dumbest things". It's straight up like you have a chip on your shoulder.

Complaining about Americans is possibly the most reddit thing ever, lmao, regardless of where the user is from.

The norm on Reddit was that american superiority though outside of niche subreddits.
