    Damn, a lot of “Fuck Afghanistan, hoo rah America is great” kinda vibes in here :-/ I left Reddit to get away from the constant USA Defaultsm nonsense…

    Yes, let’s ignore the most important issue - people are suffering and as decent humans we have a duty to them, when we can instead use it as an excuse to point out how much better Americans are at being a country, etc etc :-(

      My impression of reddit was the opposite. Lots of people who have never set foot outside of their town saying America was the worst place on earth.

      Honestly fuck that? USA, it’s intentions mixed as they were, at least tried to help - and that’s a country that already had experience in influencing growth and change in other countries. I can’t really see other options for them.

      Yeah, they are in a bad place but please let’s not forget that they actually worked to be in that place. So screw that, my heart goes to them but they’re lost case for now, until they are ready to fight for themselves.

      This is possibly the most delusional take in the entire thread. If you thought that reddit, where people take every opportunity to shit on America somehow has constant “USA Defaultism”. You have to be a Stalin worshipping commie to even begin thinking that.

        Yeah I read that and was rather surprised, it felt like it was the opposite. And I wasn’t in rah rah murica subs, this was in the large default ones.
