I'm certain I've had American leftists report me or my youtube or twitter channel. It's like a 99.9% certainty.
But it's only been twice that someone said openly with zero hint of shame that they reported me.
Both were Europeans.
Both from Scandinavian countries. One was on Steam, where in the comment thread he happily told me he reported my account because I dared to have political disagreements with him.
And the second time was some twitch/youtube streamer I happened upon who was playing Morrowind and I mentioned that TES 6 would be woke. He then proceeded to live stream him reporting my channel for "hate speech".
Now I'm certain that at least dozens of American leftists have done the exact thing, but there's an American sense that tattling on someone and and using the force of a higher human authority is a bad and embarrassing look, so American leftists typically just do it, but don't announce it, instead pretend that they're made of tougher stuff.
But that American shame of tattling to whoever big brother is in the scenario, whether it's Valve or Google, over the most minor "social offenses", doesn't seem to be as prevalent over in Europe particularly in Scandinavian countries.
When I was little, ~25 years ago, the schools started teaching the kids to tattle.
The worst thing you could do was to deal with your bullies yourself. We were both explicitly taught this, as well as them making a big show of punishing people who dealt with their bullies. I remember it quite well, because this changed after a reorganisation where they also replaced most of the teachers. Before that time we did it the traditional way.
My parents were furious at the time, but I can't assume it's gotten any better.
I think we’re probably around the same age.
32 here.
I experienced teachers doing this but it didn’t click for me like it did just now until you wrote that comment.
