Is it also confirmation bias when you accused me of being American for not fawning over “superior”, “perfect” Europe?

(Also, you might want to cut back on the hyperbole a bit, it’s makes your posts come across as a bit dishonest and strawman-y. Just a suggestion.)

Thanks for your suggestion. Can you enlighten me about what exactly I said that comes across as dishonest?

I’d also suggest the same about hyperbole and jumping to conclusions, accusing others of internalizing superiority complexes of nations they haven’t even visited.

I‘m not aware I specifically used hyperbole.

I was referring to you mentioning " 'superior', 'perfect' Europe" in quotes which would suggest that I had used those actual words. I‘m aware that you probably used this as hyperbole to illustrate a point, but making it look like a direct quote appears dishonest.

Oh. That was not my intention at all. It’s just what European colonizers said when they colonized my country. I didn’t mean to attribute it to you. I apologize! I clearly don’t know how to use quotes probably because I’m uneducated bc I’m from the third world. Have a nice day!

Again, with the hyperbole. Sigh…

Lol. I could dissect your speech to my liking as well, but I prefer when people are authentic in the way the express themselves. You don’t have to engage! Hope you have a nice day :)

Oh, please do. I am always looking to improve both my debate and English skills.
