“This happens in all of Europe, not just Spain” would have been better, if that’s what you meant to say.
Your transparent and instrumental deliberate misinterpretation of my words is your concern, not mine.
I’m not a mind reader. I replied to the most likely intended meaning based on the words used. If you wanted to say something else, you should have used other words.
That’s a hell of a lot to expect people to infer from 3 words, especially when the phase you’re adapting IS specifically about it being especially bad in America compared to everywhere else, which it is.
You expressed yourself in an unclear manner and expected me and everyone to jump to a conclusion that doesn’t logically follow from what you said.
Then you started attacking my intelligence and accusing me of arguing in bad faith due to my completely reasonable original interpretation of your vague statement.
I’m not the one being arrogant, uncharitable and sanctimonious here, you are. Please just give it a rest already.

Just correcting your false assumptions, that’s all 🤷

Nope. Pointing out your mistaken assumptions ≠ not understanding your subsequent explanations.
Or, to explain it like you’re five: not agreeing with your take does not mean not understanding.

Upvote for explaining the reference. But to expect the average reader to know that is a bit far stretched.
