    Try as you may, it still doesn’t erase the fact that not everyone commenting on a US post must absolutely be American…

    Must? No. I said as much. It does make it a reasonable assumption, if the other assumptions are true. If I go to a hospital, it isn’t crazy for me to ask what issues someone has (though that may be weird). Most likely they are there because they have some medical issue. Sure, sometimes you’ll be wrong, but it’s a reasonable assumption.

    Also doesn’t erase the fact that by your own logic you’re as cringe as me…

    I was making fun of your statement. It was stupid, so I also said something stupid. You’re supposed to see it and realize it’s dumb, and then reflect on your statement. At least you got the first step.

    twisting my words or using my comment condemning the lack of due process in the article to derail the topic due to their own personal coping issues and lack of reading comprehension.

    You complaining about “American defaultism being cringe” derailed the conversation. You could have ignored it or just made a correction if you wanted to stay on topic.

    I agree with your statement, but you don’t need to rant about “American defaultism” when someone makes that assumption on a US topic in a largely US community.
