      I’d hope my fellow Americans here on Lemmy are a little more informed than our run of the mill mouth breathers.

        I don’t know. Some time ago, my 20-year-old, Ron-Paul-adoring self was ranting and raving to everyone who would listen about how SOPA and PIPA were about to destroy the internet.

        In other words, there are occasionally some people on the right who latch onto good ideas (like a free and open internet) that seemingly require tech knowledge.

      As an American, I have to agree.

      Unfortunately, the world doesn’t comprise purely of Americans

        I wouldn’t say unfortunately, exactly… :P

        I’m not saying they should, but… Yes they do?

        No, it does. The whole world is Americans.
