I mean, other than some folks jumping in to defend the honor of the ~~Fatherland~~ helpless foreign country which needs terminally online Americans to defend it, I don't really know that there'd be a big difference in reaction.

There's not much here that's... actually offensive unless you really try to read into it? "Ha ha, debt goes up, major restaurants, car type that's fucking everywhere despite no reason for it, overused national symbol, food additive, regional hat, flag bikini, national obsession"

I guess the diabetes bit?

I don't really know that an Argentine drawing the same tongue-in-cheek style pic with inflation, whatever national chains are prominent, vehicle jokes, regional dress, a national-team shirt, and a soccer ball would really get a majorly different reaction.

You'd be surprised. There are tankies on here that insist on such lunacy as "The Stalinist USSR was actually really democratic!"

They will always swallow the official line of denial, even long after the officials themselves have disavowed it.

You know what that did for my standard of living? It gave me a lot of cheap, healthy and delicious places to eat.

Completely un-American, you can only have one of the three

Sorry we didn't carry on the crusade against fascism at home after dismantling Nazi Germany.

I was there when they were invented, they were called mini-bowls. The marketing team didn't like it, though, so we had to rewrite all the clay tablets with 'spoons'. Which is a dumb name, for the record.

Mini-bowls, they were initially called

Loneliness and/or a need for validation drives people to crazy things. From joining cults and extremist groups without a pre-existing history of relevant prejudices or preconceptions, to enduring abusive social circles. To, now, falling in love with chatbots.
