I know I’ve expressed dislike for the guy in the past, but seriously? I thought for even something like this, he would at least have a good take on it.

My apologies, I shouldn’t have assumed you were from the U.S.
Ah geez, you aren’t even on the U.S. news cycle and you are seeing the insane propaganda levels. Pretty typical of the bourgeoisie media cycles though.
Ah shit, I misread it. It was an acquaintance ‘in Venezuela’. Poor bastard. Look, given that there is a sizable percentage of the U.S. electorate that thinks our elections were stolen, it doesn’t surprise me if there are many people in Venezuela who think the election was stolen. They’re in a tough spot and I hope things work out for them and if Maduro does get kicked out, they don’t get sold down the river of American promises.
Well, I can’t blame you, even in person people keep assuming I’m from the US!
In person getting treated like a Usonian is a sore point as much as it’s something I’ve learned to have a sense of humor about, but on the Internet it’s clear that there is a wider problem of treating Seppos as the default nationality. I think that unlearning this behavior or attitude, and combating Americocentrism in general, is a clear point of improvement for Hexbear’s site culture, that this would entice more users of other nationalities to join and allow for a broader range of perspectives. So it’s important to call out Americocentrism when it appears, but maybe less as something to apologize for and more as something to improve on.
I did also say “US overseas citizen” so maybe you’re just tired.
There is a really obvious joke to be made here, but I am not going to make it…
I hope so too, but I’m certainly managing my expectations.
I will learn and improve upon it for sure!
I am actually really tired, I got off of the three day night shift and am switching to day over for my second part-time job tomorrow. I still need to be more careful about reading before I go off though. Speaking of which it is nearly time for me to get some sleep. Good night and good luck!
