that post that’s like. “americans sincerely trying to argue that they’re UNIQUELY incapable of learning things about other countries and cultures is still a form of american exceptionalism.” I think about that a lot.
like rather than just own that they’re ignorant they’ll really act like ICE will grab you off the street if you google a world map or read a translated book and there’s no possible way to learn anything that’s not on fox news. fucking clown shit.
idk man something about my countrymen insisting we have no choice but to be ignorant and no way to learn when we live in one of the most resource rich, coddled countries in the fucking world just makes me insane.
and like. the whole reason we’re so comfortable is, largely, because of the rampant exploitation of, you guessed it, the people and resources of those other countries that you can’t even be bothered to learn the names of! incredible work everybody!!!
