I think there's this one guy, right, who just keeps making new accounts so that he can start theads like this one. Kinda like a hobby.

Hmm... The US does itself no favours by being so huge . Because it is the main market for film and media, Hollywood, American politics and education tend to focus their attention on the domestic market, which means that you just can't make a blockbuster where the Americans loose, (The book of Master...
