It is a nationalist behavior and I find nationalism weird. I concede that I say that from a place of privilege, in some regards, because I was born and raised in the US, which also has a number of weird and uncomfortable nationalist traits and behaviors. I also find the behavior of the US distasteful, to say the least. But, that's not the subject here. I believe it is wrong-headed to invent new terminology for something that has a universally recognized meaning. "email" is not American cultural imperialism, it is a powerful democratizing force that serves the whole damned planet. I'm not opposed to efforts to distribute the responsibility and decentralize control over Internet resources, in fact I support them. Inventing an OS from scratch, when there are several international and Open Source or Free operating systems already developed in the most democratic/meritocratic fashion imaginable (with occasional flaws due to human fallibility), is nationalist bullshit and should be made fun of. The kind of thinking that leads to that sort of behavior and attitude deserves nothing but scorn and disdain. I make fun of North Korea, too. "Americans like to complain that they have to spend big money to be the world's policeman, but when a country tries to emancipate from American influence it is met with derision." How did we get here in this conversation?
