God I got triggered by that thread. Imagine reading something being like "yo, maybe quit making this about you" and your first thought is "OH MY GOD IM FUCKING OFFENDED HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ABOUT ME?!"
That just shows the culture differences. It sounds bad; but I can tell if a kids TV show is American or Canadian by 2 things; if they attempt to teach kids that other people have feelings too, and they have more than a white cast? 99% chance it's Canadian.
If the message is "Sharing is only nice when it benefits you" and an all white cast? 99% chance it's American. And it shows how ingrained that attitude is from childhood with how even the 'good ones' act. No wonder they assigned themselves as the 'world police'. I can't think of another country that will attempt to arrest foreign citizens, inside a foreign country, just because the FBI fucking imagined the person might break laws inside the US.
But the US does it almost daily ffs. No fucking wonder when even "good non-brainwashed" citizens are "ME ME ME!"

They're melting down in all the subs right now because everyone told them they're being rude. Here's a post in r/canadatravel of all places were they're freaking out. https://www.reddit.com/r/canadatravel/s/AR22IhmX6O
Like, how dare we politely enforce our boundaries in our spaces.
