>>411622Americans project everything they are themselves onto others. Remember the same people who will call you some conspiratorial nutcase for suggesting China maybe isn't genociding the Uyghurs are eager to come up with things like "Russia uses a Cuban ray gun to terrorize our athletes". It's fucking unreal.
This is why Americans are shocked when they travel, because they obsess over all things European so when they get told to cut their bullshit in Europe it's traumatizing for them. "B-but we got Trump out! That's what damaged our reputation, right?" For example, every left-liberal and their mom on the entire world think it's disgusting what is done to Julian Assange. And then you listen to their American counterpart, and you unironically read fascist takes "he is a traitor, he should be punished" "I hope he dies in prison, good riddance". These people have lost touch with the rest of the world, and that's what makes it scary.
