I'm American, and I wasn't offended. Because it's true, we actually can't comprehend this because we are the poster child of government via huge corporations. We literally don't know what it's like to have a functioning and trustworthy government handling these things, it's completely foreign to us.
American media may be less likely to share that narrative with you. But the actual people figured this out a while ago and they're mad.
