We're not "being divisive", we are responding to an irrelevant contribution by giving you the context that we are talking about New Zealand politics! Why would we need to discuss American politics? We have the rest of Bluesky for that!

“Which you might notice if you read any international news” is “giving me context” and “not being divisive”? I would call it being obnoxious and assumptive.

You said "sounds wonderful" because you were assuming the usual, that we're a quaint little hobbit land with scenery and no problems. We get the same dismissive shit from Americans all the time. Which is why we were talking amongst ourselves

I literally said “sounds wonderful” because I think it sounds better than the political hellscape we live in here. The amount of assumptions you create in your head is fascinating, but not accurate at all.

Ok, tell me what makes it wonderful in your mind, then. No internet searching.

Nope. I need an actual quality we have that isn't the absence of something

You jumped into a complete stranger's thread on the assumption they were talking about US politics and now you're calling someone else's comment "obnoxious and assumptive"? Seriously? A bit "pot calling the kettle black", isn't it?

Where did I say anything about "divisive"? I called you out for labeling other people "assumptive" when you've repeatedly made incorrect assumptions in this thread.
