This is an interesting topic. Let me first say that I have all the respect in the world for English writers. Perhaps the reason there is a disproportionate number of quality American writers on Medium is because American culture deliberately censors anyone who isn't lockstep with the mainstream perspective. We don't have a prayer of getting a steady job with a stable publication so we end up here. I've had multiple articles go viral on a variety of platforms and it's always led to nothing. I wrote a letter to the editor for the local paper that was the most read article in the history of that paper, but they wouldn't publish my follow up. I'm fairly certain that, at some point, I'll disappear from this platform as well. That's just the unfortunate state of things. Thanks for your kind words though! For the most part, the people at your Sunday speakers' corner are right about what they have to say about Americans. A couple of us are working to change that, but it's an uphill battle.
