A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

    I think this will remain a problem on any platform that includes enough Americans. The general public in America just seems unaware of anything outside America.

    I think this stems from their education system, what they (don’t) broadcast on mass-media and how normal and even laudable they consider fanatical nationalism to be (did you know they require children to swear devotion to the nation state every day at school!?).

    In any case, I don’t think this is a problem that any platform that wants to include Americans can avoid.

      (did you know they require children to swear devotion to the nation state every day at school!?).

      Untrue. Happens in some areas, but far from universal. However, it is weird (self-loathing american reporting).

      It’s also that it’s legitimately unusual to travel to another country more than once or twice before you’re an adult because of the geography.
