It’s stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren’t involved in Vietnam. No, I’m not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y’all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

      My point is that you immediately went “Not all countries had the economy of America” but this isn’t about America and I find that both funny and sad.

      Everyone instantly goes to pointing fingers and saying “AMERICAN” and in doing so effectively treat Canada like it doesn’t exist. Either Americans are too bought into (whether they realize it or not) American Exceptionalism or foreigners are too focused on them because they’re loud as hell.

        What economy would Canada have without the U.S., honestly? We’re all kind of entangled here in North America. I know you guys are all pissed at us right now, but it was not that long ago that people would call Canada “America’s little brother” endearingly
