    ok so laughing is easy cuz this take is plain stupid. but after wipin my loltears I’m trying to understand the point this person is making, the mindset behind the bullshit take. bereft of context (i dunno who they are) is it cope from someone waking up from the dream of American exceptionalism but resisting the full horror? like, allowing the reality of “the US is terrible, does terrible things” but rather than read or somethin, is still clinging to vibe-land, holding on to the feeling, trying to fall back asleep?

    eh im just rambling, they’re very silly

      The OOP very obviously does not identify as American based on the us-vs-them pronouns, and evidently ties “being American” to living in Seppoland, so I personally deduce that the OOP presumably does not live in Seppoland and has no meaningful connections to that place. Rather I’m willing to guess that the OOP is probably from Europe and just channeling her “Euroliberal” flavor of anti-Americanism in order to justify her own ideology rooted in her own form of national chauvinism. I am open to being proven wrong, however. But why would you assume the OOP was a Seppolander, anyways?

      Edit: Called it, she’s from Germany. Updated pronouns.

          As I was saying, those types of brainworms like treating Seppolanders as the default people are found in people of every ideology, and people need to actively strive against them.
