      Tons of people speak English as a second language, on the internet

      Your comment is very typical of that (fallacious) US centrism. People write in English on the internet because that is the universal language. There are far more secondary English speakers on the internet than primary English speakers.

            What on Earth are you on about? “denigrate Americans”. They are pointing out facts. That you apparently are so fragile that you consider that denigration is entirely on yourself.

              I think you owe me an apology. It took me a while to copy paste all that senseless vitriol and you won’t even acknowledge your mistake. Disappointing.

              Look at their comment history. They can’t go two days without getting in a dig at Americans. Even when it’s completely irrelevant and off topic. I’m just pointing out that this person has a bone to pick and not to take it personally.

              The funny part is that they’re often completely wrong when they try to talk shit. Like here, thinking that India having a larger population than the US is some kind of gotcha moment, despite less than 10% of that population speaking English.

              I’ll just transcribe a few lovely comments from our good friend Mr Blott.

              Glock pistols popular in US because of the proliferation of fucking cowards

              Scared of their own fucking shadows, those pussies

              What’s the difference between a cow and 9/11

              You’d stop milking a cow after 23 years

              Seems a bit unnecessary when you could just dress the ivy up like schoolkids and the yanks would wipe it out in a week

              German

              I’m guessing a yank whose great great great great great great grandfather once wiped his cock on a strudel

              They’re using American weapons, they should just aim for schools

              Holy fuck, yanks are weird

              God I’d hate to have such poor reading comprehension. You’d last about a minute in UK based communities lol

              You’re not out of the dark ages, you quivering shitebag lol

              You mean prison slavery? That’s the US, get on it lol

              Did it come out of the States?

              If so, guaranteed utter fucking horseshit

              You can punch your hand through your plasterboard mate lol

              You can always spot an American because they’re so fuckin scared of everything. Look, this one’s scared of his own shite 😂

              Of course!

              Just lose the -

              • Guns
              • Tiny-penis trucks
              • the “right” to hate-speech
              • the religious weirdo thing

              And you’ll be getting close to the 20th century!

              Know how yous get upset when people say “Americans are stupid”

              Literally a third of you have demonstrated that you’d eat gravel if someone said it’d cure immigrants

              A third. So lets just say only half of the other two thirds are stupid

              That’s quite a few. Almost a quarter pounder

              Yous cunts are greedy to the point of being fuckin EVIL

              That’s just… evil, taking money from poor folk and their kids

              How are yous letting evil cunts do this to your fellow citizens? How are you not fucking getting the flaming torches out?

              Selfish fucking cunts, the lot of you. Stand up for not just yourselves, for all of yous

              The bot is only “spreading misinformation” to people who are too stupid to realise that “left” and “right” mean politically different things in different countries

              Mostly the yanks

              I feel really sorry for this guy

              What kind of unhinged parents call their kid Tyreek?

              This is just from the past few weeks lmao. This dude has issues.

              Surprised at a yank using the word “denigrate” without clutching their pearls at the etymology of it lol
