We? No. USA can if it wants that shit.

American exceptionalism is so fucking annoying. Their country is failing to a point hopefully this first person shit rightfully corrects to third person.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

American exceptionalism definitely sucks, but this is not an example of American exceptionalism. The source is an article from an American magazine, published for an American audience.

[–] Burghler@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm referring to how the post title shared here is in first person as if everyone is American. If that's unrelated to exceptionalism then oops.

You never clicked on the link, did you?

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The post title starts with “we”, which means everyone, it doesn’t limit those involved to one country.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, and the post title is just the title of the article 🤦

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

I’m just saying it wouldn’t hurt to make things clear when posting the article link to a global website.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

It’s worse here than on Reddit, IMO.

Agreed. But also commies believe that when the state takes something, "we" will get it (and they fail to see why states sponsor their useful idiocy)

The point of communism is that things are state owned.

Global communities reveal the disgusting chauvinism of the nationalist "we". It's cult speech.
