    why is this weird like, anti-american-exceptionalism so prevalent on the internet?

    it’s so reactionary. you’re… actively engaging in the same kind of thought process that is the secret ingredient to american stupidity. if you’re not careful what’s happened and happening here will happen wherever you are, if it hasn’t already. and this sort of shit is why…

        I mean, the article still makes sense, just like all the articles about Bolsonaro revoking protections for the Amazon make sense, it cumulatively affects everyone, even if you’re on the other side of the planet

            internal news would be ‘so and so won the lottery’ or ‘city eminate domains affordable housing for shopping center’

              No, internal news would be “US cuts down forest in the US” which has absolutely no impact on the world at all. No other country is involved. Just the US. Meaning this is internal US news.

      That was just exasperation (which I can understand), but their subsequent comment unfortunately shows much more of what they’re about.
