      It is kinda funny watching the American Exceptionalism finally crumble before our eyes. Shame most Americans aren’t reflective enough to realise what’s happening.

        This 100%. You’re getting downvoted but I don’t think Americans realize how irritating their fellow countrymen can be on the internet and in person to non Americans. There’s also the defaultism as if everyone is American (or wants to be American) which gets REALLY tiring after a while

        American exceptionalism is the belief that word special, for good or bad. It’s just pouring on a different kind of Americans exceptionalists, the one who think our trajectory is something new.

        Also, we do. A lot of us do…

      Its extremely funny seeing idiot Americans who voted (and those who didnt vote at all) for a 34 count rapist felon, seditionous traitor and then protest by holding little signs and wearing pink jackets.

      You guys only use your 2nd amendment rights in schools against children. America is a circus and Americans are the clowns.

        Interestingly, I don’t think that’s going to happen. OPEC could decide to ramp up production if USA lowers theirs. Demand for oil isn’t rising the way it used to due to alternatives not only becoming viable but actually cheaper as well.
