I think this comment says more about your (lack of) familiarity with America than America.
It wouldn't be HN without classic "But America Bad!" whataboutism.
Ration your America-loathing to places where it can be remotely relevant please.
People here are very critical of the US for similar things, too. I'm not sure what you're point is besides to try to derail the discussion?
I'm coming from a USA perspective. It's great to hear that this non-sense is no prevalent everywhere.
Maybe his "we" is more USA-centric than your "we".It happens all the time...
You are in spirit in agreement, but I don't think he played on words. Just stating (how awful, personal opinion) how it is in the US.
I'm not an American, you know. What do you consider untrue or unreasonable about my comment above?
You're probably getting downvotes from butthurt Americans who resent the "only in America" comment you made, even though it's generally correct (it seems like some of the Anglophone countries have copied some of this insanity though, to a lesser degree).
I dislike how you're being downvoted for not being American.
