Again, all of that makes sense, but you seem surprised that Americans would relate to the world through the lens of being in America, and I gotta tell you, that's perfectly normal.

It's not surprising that people who chose to go to the hope-posting community are talking about and thinking about the big thing that made tons of people feel hopeless.

You're damn right I see it as an American issue, LOOK WHERE WHAT COMMUNITY YOURE IN. WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS THAT FEELS HOPELESS RIGHT NOW??? 😅

We get it. You're not an American. The people you're interacting with are, which would have been pretty intuitive if you noticed what comm you're in given what's happening here, and it's not anyone else's failing that you didn't realize where you're at, or the context of the interaction. Have some empathy is all I'm saying.

Regardless, hope you have a good one. Take care.
