Yep

Something that was said so publicly is remembered by so few, and the ramifications echo around the world decades later

The US doesn't have a monopoly on stupidity, hate and ignorance

But they're so proud of it...

And so blind to the fact that so much of the world just wants them to fuck off and sit in the corner

I've been asked why July 4 isn't a big deal in Australia, and when I laughed, it was met with huffy indignation

Just like the stupid American woman demanding a discount for a tourist attraction in London because she had an American AAA card, and being pissy because she didn't get one

I like it when yanks ask me how I'm supposed to defend myself without firearms (I laugh when they say "gun", because it tells me so much)

When I point out that people aren't armed here, so it's not an issue, the type to ask that question genuinely can't understand it

Because they're stupid.
