Ok, feedback received. I was sharing my personal experience, as a counterpoint to the previous post. It seemed on topic and relevant based on the overall discussion.
I don't feel like my reply was nationalistic (I'm Canadian, we're the least patriotic people around!), inflammatory or nasty in any way, but I will skip these kinds of convos in the future.
- dang 5y agoI'm also Canadian. It's very easy to perceive nationalistic provocations when they come from other people in other countries. It's much harder to perceive it in oneself, because one takes one's own assumptions and style of expression for granted. Swipes like the following are nationalistic putdowns, no different from the kind of thing we ask other users not to post here: > kinda puts you at the bottom of the list of modern/developed countries > Y'all have real problems that you could solve but _choose_ not to > It's obviously not all bad
