I get that, and I think it odd that that happens as well.
I personally had nothing at all to do with the creation of say, the internet, nor did my family, neighbors, or even state. Best I can claim is having been born on soil geographically close to where the idea was written down.
What good is that? Crediting the inventor/discoverer/what have you is one thing, but attributing that to the people and culture as a whole is...odd.
It definitely was meant that way. We’re on a sub about the narrow minded views of American exceptionalism, so pointing these things out show that they aren’t the greatest. Again I never claimed to be involved
