As an American, we deserve the derision. Please, continue shaming us, maybe some day people will get sick enough of it to try to prove them wrong.

That's probably asking too much, though.

As an American who usually gets mistaken for a Canadian while traveling, I know that some of us know they aren’t talking about us, but also that the people who they are talking about aren’t even in the conversation.

It’s effectively talking about people behind their back which is not that useful.

When I say "the uneducated states" I'm referring to general trends:

- lack of technological fluency

- lack of mathematical/scientific fluency

- lack of financial fluency

- lack of political fluency

- lack of critical thinking skills

- willful engagement with streaming psy-op platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Tiktok

The right wing nut jobs are most definitely in the conversation here.
