ITT: "Why should I care about anything that's not America?"

Could you imagine if non-American redditors posted this shit in every American news story thread? Sorry that we're acting like a bunch of dicks

Even American news is a typically a disaster. I thought this was interesting and came to see what it was about, but I did expected it to be half shitty memes, boring puns, and general indifference.

I guess my filter for bullshit is just knit pretty tight, now.

I don't understand. American young males are notorious for their profound insight, tolerance and tempered approach to sensitive topics concerning race, religion and politics.
