Would it be incorrect to call such associating with brands/ "loving" a company more (or less) an American thing? Why even spend any moment of your finite life pondering over behaviors of random companies, let alone defending one over another?

as a consumer, yeah. but I can still mostly avoid them.
At this point I just believe anything i see written on these platforms is from someone mentally unstable until they prove otherwise.
