I don't think I've heard a genuine complaint from a Japenese person about Japan, or a Spanish person about Spain, or any other country from a native.

Most people, Americans included, prefer to speak well of their country to foreigners and complain to countrymen. My hypothesis is that Americans perceive online spaces as uniquely American spaces where we complain to our ingroup, and folks of other nationalities tend to think of online spaces as “international waters” and are more guarded as a result, which leads to this perception.

    It's shite being English. We're the lowest of the low, The scum of the fucking Earth. The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash, that was shat into civilisation!
