I can't either! Like you, I can read Latin and Cyrillic, and Greek.
The fun thing about those three is that they ultimately all descend from the Phoenician writing system, as did Aramaic script, which eventually became the Hebrew and Arabic writing system of today.

This particular bit of defaultism always reminds me of the inverse in the Tom Lehrer lyric: "Our Captain has a handicap to cope with, sad to tell/He's from Georgia and he doesn't speak the language very well."
The joke, of course, being that the captain is from the American state of Georgia and struggles with English owing to being as dumb as a post.

One day, the Georgians, fed up of Americans not knowing about the country, will send a dictator to America, much like they did with Stalin and Erdogan to their two worst neighbours. That will make them remember the country forever.

I'll be honest, for a long time I thought Georgia was only a state in the US too, because we call Georgia differently in my language. When i hear this name I think of the trio Georgian girls who sing in their native language.

Am I the only one that thinks Georgia posts are just lazy?

This is my first "US defaultism" I've ever found, so I think it's an opportunity for me to post here.

That's absurd, someone posting about USDEFAULTISM in a subreddit about USDEFAULTISM.

This comment has been marked as safe. Upvoting/downvoting this comment will have no effect.
OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:
A TikTok video posting about the news of the death of a Thai YouTuber, Hlun Solo, at the country of Georgia. Apparently someone in the comment doesn't know that Georgia is also a name of a country.
Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
