I’ll do you one better and say that a lot of times it comes from chronically online Americans who got their opinion from said Europeans. And at least some of the time it’s from third world bots whose marching orders are to spread any and every kind of anti-American sentiment.
Lately I just prefer to put the opposing idea out into the aether rather than try to dig into a whole online argument… thing.
Living in the EU as an American there is a very real sense of superiority that Europeans hold over their american counterparts. Blaming it on bots is disingenuous
But one of the things Russian troll farms are paid to do is spread general anti-American sentiment. I’m not trying to explain away the comments; I’m describing a real thing that happens.
I appreciate your perspective.
