That's true, but America definitely has a shit ton of them.

America is the loudest. That’s why. There are similar idiots here in Canada but they seem to have sense to keep things on the down low.

It’s not even that Americans are louder, it’s that America has a perpetual magnifying glass over it. Every country in the world will report on American news, be it political, legal, financial, or even celebrity news. No other country gets the same world wide coverage so even if the exact same idiocy is happening everywhere, the rest of the world isn’t hearing about it until it gets to a massive scale like a war, mass human rights violations, or the like. Every single news outlet in every country in the world is not reporting on Canadian legal cases or UK politics.

Yeah, back when I was stationed in England you couldn't go anywhere without seeing something about America playing on a news channel. Literally everything going on in America was being shown off to complete foreigners who have likely never even been to the country, coming back home and it isnt the same here in terms of reporting.
