    Don’t take up space online defending yourself as “one of the good ones”, or saying not all people from your country are like that.

    Don’t take up space online replying to content critical of your country by saying how ashamed you are to be from your country, or how sorry you are.

    Strangers online don’t know you. If you truly believe you are not part of the problem you should be able to rationalize negative comments about people in your country as generalizations and/or venting and therefore not directed at you personally. There is no need to correct them. There is no need to make sure they know you are not part of the problem. That does not help them, it only helps you. Let it go, stay out of it, move on.

    (This isn’t a passive aggressive meta comment btw)
