I mean the us dwarfs other english speaking countries

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 16 points 1 month ago

Tons of people speak English as a second language, on the internet

[-] uienia@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Your comment is very typical of that (fallacious) US centrism. People write in English on the internet because that is the universal language. There are far more secondary English speakers on the internet than primary English speakers.

~~because that is the universal language~~

*grince des dents*
because it is the international language of this days and time.

Mr Blott really really really likes to denigrate Americans. Don't rain on his parade

[-] uienia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

What on Earth are you on about? "denigrate Americans". They are pointing out facts. That you apparently are so fragile that you consider that denigration is entirely on yourself.

[-] imaqtpie@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 month ago

I think you owe me an apology. It took me a while to copy paste all that senseless vitriol and you won't even acknowledge your mistake. Disappointing.

Surprised at a yank using the word "denigrate" without clutching their pearls at the etymology of it lol

[-] imaqtpie@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 1 month ago

Look at their comment history. They can't go two days without getting in a dig at Americans. Even when it's completely irrelevant and off topic. I'm just pointing out that this person has a bone to pick and not to take it personally.

The funny part is that they're often completely wrong when they try to talk shit. Like here, thinking that India having a larger population than the US is some kind of gotcha moment, despite less than 10% of that population speaking English.

I'll just transcribe a few lovely comments from our good friend Mr Blott.

Glock pistols popular in US because of the proliferation of fucking cowards

Scared of their own fucking shadows, those pussies

What’s the difference between a cow and 9/11

You’d stop milking a cow after 23 years

Seems a bit unnecessary when you could just dress the ivy up like schoolkids and the yanks would wipe it out in a week

German

I’m guessing a yank whose great great great great great great grandfather once wiped his cock on a strudel

They’re using American weapons, they should just aim for schools

Holy fuck, yanks are weird

God I’d hate to have such poor reading comprehension. You’d last about a minute in UK based communities lol

You’re not out of the dark ages, you quivering shitebag lol

You mean prison slavery? That’s the US, get on it lol

Did it come out of the States?

If so, guaranteed utter fucking horseshit

You can punch your hand through your plasterboard mate lol

You can always spot an American because they’re so fuckin scared of everything. Look, this one’s scared of his own shite 😂

Of course!

Just lose the -

  • Guns
  • Tiny-penis trucks
  • the "right" to hate-speech
  • the religious weirdo thing

And you'll be getting close to the 20th century!

Know how yous get upset when people say “Americans are stupid”

Literally a third of you have demonstrated that you’d eat gravel if someone said it’d cure immigrants

A third. So lets just say only half of the other two thirds are stupid

That’s quite a few. Almost a quarter pounder

Yous cunts are greedy to the point of being fuckin EVIL

That’s just… evil, taking money from poor folk and their kids

How are yous letting evil cunts do this to your fellow citizens? How are you not fucking getting the flaming torches out?

Selfish fucking cunts, the lot of you. Stand up for not just yourselves, for all of yous

The bot is only “spreading misinformation” to people who are too stupid to realise that “left” and “right” mean politically different things in different countries

Mostly the yanks

I feel really sorry for this guy

What kind of unhinged parents call their kid Tyreek?

This is just from the past few weeks lmao. This dude has issues.
