I think its universal, really. Americans just feel like its worse here cause we’re, well, experiencing it here. Most people are idiots, thats just how it is - we just see it more because the internet lets us interact outside our personal social bubbles.
Its like that meme about expertise, take your concept of “knowing nothing” and cut that in half then you’ll be close to most peoples level.
Unfortunately, it really isn’t. The absolute disregard for reality is a very American thing. There are always outliers everywhere. But the whole country of the US is an outlier in the global stage with the only comparison being North Korea. For how its people inside feel and think they’re perceived versus are. And it’s the same style of nationalist propaganda that sustains it.
