    Not sure when or how it happened but in America it became okay to be shamelessly and willingly ignorant.

    the fact that it’s an illegal settler-colonial occupation of stolen Indigenous lands, founded on white supremacy and multiple on-going genocides.

    The Americanisation of the UK. Why would I drink Starbucks when I can have a cup of tea? And yet so many people drink that shite now.

    How shamelessly mysogynistic and misandrist it gets. I’d say 80% of the people completely and uncritically accept that Men Don’t Cry or they’re Gay which is Bad^(TM) and freak out whenever a woman has short hair or calls out abuse. it’s frankly unacceptable how normalized this is

    Scam call centers as an Indian.. the fact that there are English-speaking scamsters from across the globe does not bode well for the image of us NRIs

    How we conduct ourselves as tourists, typically in European or ex-colonial territories.

    Fuck’n gammon dressed in an ill-fitting white t shirt, socks and sandals and board shorts snapping our fingers and shouting “Gar-Kon” at the nearest waiter 🤬

    (USA) How the government is supposed to serve the people but they’re all elitist. Lifer politicians that become millionaires through insider trading, bribery, and fraud. If there’s any truth to the corruption Doge is uncovering then I fully support them gutting govt.

    How much worse mundane things are here vs Europe. Being in a European airport? Pleasant experience. American airport? Like a scene from Rumble in the Bronx. Ditto bathrooms. And restaurants. And…….

    I find it frustrating that my country has a reputation for tardiness at meetings, especially since I consistently make an effort to arrive 15 minutes early.
