American exceptionalism is so fucking annoying. Their country is failing to a point hopefully this first person shit rightfully corrects to third person.

American exceptionalism definitely sucks, but this is not an example of American exceptionalism. The source is an article from an American magazine, published for an American audience.

I'm referring to how the post title shared here is in first person as if everyone is American. If that's unrelated to exceptionalism then oops.

You never clicked on the link, did you?

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The post title starts with “we”, which means everyone, it doesn’t limit those involved to one country.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, and the post title is just the title of the article 🤦

I’m just saying it wouldn’t hurt to make things clear when posting the article link to a global website.

It’s worse here than on Reddit, IMO.
