Does #deflategate count as history? Because that will start a fight way more reliably than the War of 1812 or whatever.

It's like people think China, Japan (i guess if you don't count Jesuits), SE Asian countries, and the Middle East did not have states or statehood before white people showed up

exmarx posted:it's exceptionalism Yup, both in a positive and negative sense. Americans don't seem to hold a very nuanced view of their country from my euro perspective. Its either rah rah usa or ameriKKKa. Not everything good/bad in the world is a consequence of american action.
