    You say “all” but I’m pretty sure you only mean the ones in specific countries. In most European countries they simply do their job and don’t have a negative connotation (apart from people getting angry when they have to pay fines for speeding / parking wrongly / etc.).

    Requirements and training also are much harsher here.

      Just assume anyone making a post on the internet in English is American, because they have the majority of the publicly discussed issues and post most of the English content.

      You’ll be less confused and not lots people off by studying a “well aktchually” in where it’s not needed.

        Pretty much everyone is making posts in English because I’m pretty sure literally everyone on Lemmy can speak English. You can’t assume someone’s nationality / first language just because a post is in English.
