Whaaaaa, assuming one’s own personal experiences are actually universal? Surely OB would never ever do such a thing.
Seriously though, for someone to think they understand an entire nation based on a dysfunctional relationship within their own family is pretty extreme.
Two of my grandparents-in-law were raving separatists but we used to be able to get past it (if the subject ever came up I’d tell them it’s England’s oil, and they’d just get preoccupied with maritime boundaries until the conversation moved on).
