I don’t think its really that crazy to use your country’s currency and units of measurement in a space that is not explicitly for citizens of your country. Nor is it that crazy to make posts about things that are happening in your country. And if your country is large, it does make some sense to mention the specific area you’re from instead of just the country.
Its annoying when an American barges into a conversation and forces it to be about america somehow, but none of the things you’ve mentioned are really that bad. Just ignore posts you don’t care about, get an idea of what a US dollar is worth, and move on.

Especially if your country is essentially 50 different sub-cultures that have more differences than some European countries do from each other. But I think their point was that someone from another country might not know that Nebraska is in the United States, so we should identify that it’s Nebraska, USA for clarity.
Just because the USA isn’t completely homogenous to those who live there doesn’t mean that it’s remotely comparable to Europe. Yes the EU and the eurozone exist, but the USA still has a common language, a common currency, a common government, and a comparatively tiny history.
