The Council: “To proceed with the motion of writing this online comment. We unanimously agree that the US is a very bullshit country most of the time but at least our country is failing at the important values it was founded on instead of never even having pretended to care about them in the first place and even in its failure it’s still doing better on many of them than many others; for example, PoliceMob won’t arrest us for burning the flag…”
The One Who Watches The Watchers: “…our country?”
The Council: “Yes. We are obviously an American. It shouldn’t be that hard to believe: if you have a person who thinks in English, writes in English on an ANSI keyboard to their mostly American friends on the internet, believes in immigration and free speech and free trade and not letting the government do too many things because our government is controlled by terrible people, loves San Francisco, finds Elon Musk v v inspirational, wants to found a startup to solve big societal problems by turning them into numbers etc. then what would your prior be for them being an American?”
TOWWTW: “But we aren’t even in America!”
The Council: “But expatriates is a Thing. Don’t you remember, we flew here from SF in February?”
TOWWTW: “Oh right, it makes sense. Carry on then.”
…
TOWWTW: “…wait a fucking moment!”
