You say this as if US defaultism isn’t absolutely everywhere on the internet wherever you go.
But if you do want to talk about the U.S. and socialism, you could point out that the U.S. government's subsidizing of the military-industrial complex has made it a supreme military power, so you'd think American politicians would argue that government subsidies are a successful way to do things. Weirdly though...
Brits are just as bad at it. But it's cute when they do it because at least the rest of the world does know most US-centric topics so it's mildly annoying but doesn't preclude conversation. When brits do it no one knows wtf they're talking about.
