>>Will English speakers police the rest of the world, regardless of their language?

It's not English speakers, it's Americans specifically. Their corporations and their media have infiltrated the rest of the free world and are basically telling everyone what is and what isn't ok. People grow up watching American films and shows, accepting American morality and norms as "standard" even though frequently they absolutely aren't elsewhere. People use American social media from young age, letting American corporations censor and control the content they are seeing, again, even if the content shouldn't be controversial where they live.

Yes, I understand the hypocrisy of posting this on an American website. But I believe there is a large portion of non-American users here and it's important to remember that this is happening and should be fought against wherever possible.

I must say that as a Swedish citizen this wasn't a problem until quite recently. We have the SJW movement here now too, but I've never throught about it coming from the US. A friend of mine stayed over in Canada for a couple of years, and he said everyone was very easily offended and politically correct.

The worst is when people intentionally misinterpret what you say to start an argument, kills me inside when someone pulls that trick. I remember a year or so ago I was seeing a VERY leftist girl that kept doing that. Ended up walking out on it all.
