i love the cognitive dissonance of some USians in this comment section who believe in both of these statements:

"4chan is a US company operating in the US, sure it serves content to global users but the jurisdiction is the US, we have free speech, ..."

"Sure, Company X is operating in Europe, but it also serves US users so it has to respect our laws and it's warranted for the US to apply pressure and fines."

at least decide for one side of the argument instead of just going the blind patriot way.



Yes, I was reading these comments today and I have seen this argument coming from different people multiple times. It's incredible, right?


It is...but it confirms people's imperialist mindsets. Fine to meddle with and dictate other countries, but how dare them to tell us what to do or not to do.

Threatening to invade Denmark and calling NATO a joke and weak.

A couple of months later blame NATO for not helping in a war you started yourself.

A fish rots from the head down :)
