There should a seperate place for US news so we all can ignore it๐โโ๏ธ
-
This post did not contain any content.
There is. The !news@lemmy.world is about US news, AFAIK.
-
Is the US not a part of the world? And why would US News not belong in News? Iโm confused.
Because of the sheer amount of US-Americans, we curated seperate places for them, only containing US-American news, where they donโt mess up the rest.

There are people who are stupid enough to pretend the goings on of the world's only superpower isn't relevant to their lives, as they scroll Facebook on their iPhones within the combat radius of an F-35.

And here's PJ slandering you because he knows you can't read him.
Pug is shouting into a void at us, still making shit up and pretending to be on the left as he hates anarchists, communists, and anyone vaguely against the status quo. Gotta love how he's just so normal.

I'm sorry that dbzer0 banned me for pointing out their tolerance and denial of genocide and sexual assault. Sorry that you think opposing genocide is 'turbolib' behavior, but I guess locking arms together when one of the community is downvoted - sorry, confronted with bad behavior - is
copanarchist praxis. -
Such places do exist though? e.g. !politics@piefed.social says:
Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably itโll be 99% US stuff, but thatโs not a rule.
And there's !usa@midwest.social:
Welcome to !usa@midwest.social, where you can share and converse about the different things happening all over/about the United States.
And !usnews@beehaw.org:
News about and pertaining to the United States and its people.
There also used to be !usa@ponder.cat and !news@dubvee.org, although both were on instances that no longer exist.
Also, "World" communities outside of Lemmy.World do a MUCH better job of allowing USA news but not letting it dominate the feeds - e.g. !news@beehaw.org.
You may want to broaden your horizons beyond only those large communities on Lemmy.World - especially since those subscriber stats are fake (the Users / month are likely better but the Subscriber counts in particular include accounts of people who tried Lemmy for a brief time before noping back to Reddit, never to return). An analogy: leave the toxic sheeple to argue over how to fix their Windows machines, while you embrace the beauty of learning to use Linux - it takes some slightest of effort on your part, but you will be glad that you did.
Its so strange. Like let's be real here: Even if Americans weren't the plurality of Lemmy users (we are), America is also literally at the top of the modern global hegemony. I don't like it, I most certainly don't like what we do with it, but it's still true. Emanuel Macron does some dumb shit, it rocks the EU markets, maybe drops some forecasts for the sociopolitical climates of some EU nations and the nations they still squat on (again, not defending, just stating the reality that there are still African nations paying France for their independence). If a senator here so much as gets out of bed wrong, an entire chunk of the current global order could be thrown into upheaval. Orban praises Putin, sucks for Hungary. Trump praises Putin, it sucks for literally the entire planet.
You can be mad that we're in that position; I most certainly am. I truly believe the world would have a better chance at improving if we weren't. But until we aren't, yeah, our news is global news. You can be sick of hearing about it, you can even predict it, but that doesn't make it any less impactful or worth knowing.

Do US doesn't think it's part of the world, it thinks it's its own different world that only contains the US.

I'm also within range of a North Korean nuclear missile, what's your point?

The difference is, F-35s work.

Actually USA is a pocket dimension

That's right, ignore any inconvenient truths. If you don't like it, then it mustn't work.
Is your entire world view centred on the idea that the rest of the planet is essentially in the stone age and then the US air force is just a flying above it all? I remind you that the US hasn't won a single war in 80 years.

Must be why North Korea has the best selling fighter jet in the world.
...oh wait.

I also cannot see him because I had his LW account blocked on LW. I literally could not care less about him. He doesn't matter. Would like to stay oblivious about him, thanks. I don't need his whiny updates being hand delivered. I appreciate the heads up but I just really don't care about the dude.

What else do you expect from TrickDacy? They hate anyone they made up in their head as the bad guys.
Pretty weird you used an alt to try and help build the narrative that I "hate" everyone. Ironic considering all I attempted to do here was mildly scold someone for outright saying they hate an entire nation of humans.
-
You can't expect Trick to read! He hates you for being right and his favorite power tripping bastard being proven wrong.
Edit: Because Trick is blocked due to being a troll:
- No I don't have an alt you fucking weirdo.
- No I'm not a bot because I have a memory of active users. "Everyone I don't like is a bot!" Is the argument of people with no point in life.
And a quick look at your comment history reveals that your favorite, maybe only, activity on Lemmy is to single out users and act like you know them to be, personally, bad people. Pretty odd. Example:
As a. FYI, Phillip lied when he said he never knew about PugJesus, when he's had accounts interact with him on communities he's modded and talked before. He'll feign ignorance and being a smartass when everyone with an once of reality knows his bullshit.
You some kind of weird bot experiment?

Those iPhones made in China you mean?
America is not the only superpower and well on its way to no longer being the biggest one. Trump complains a lot about providing defense capability for Europe and other places but in return for that America got influence which is what made it a superpower.
Now that people are no longer trusting the US that influence will be reduced. Europe won't be the next superpower but probably China will be. I'm not very happy with that but as a European I don't really want us to be a superpower either.

China, the nation that is good at doing what western nations tell them how to do.

So you don't believe that North Korea has the potential to be a threat to the United States? If so then what about China, are they a threat, Russia is certainly a threat l, there's a whole period of history of America considering Russia to be a threat.
If they're threats to you then they must also be superpowers, stands to reason. So there are a lot of super powers, and yet all I ever hear about is the US. Odd that.

It's interesting that the US claims to be the top of the heap economically and yet much of the cutting edge science being done at the moment in fusion is coming out of Europe and China. I don't believe the US's contributed anything to that sector of science. It's the same across the board, the largest particle accelerator in the world, in Europe, the largest telescope in the world, in China, the second largest been Arecibo and that was in Puerto Rico, and was so unappreciated it was allowed to rot, not exactly a glowing endorsement for US science.
Every time this is brought up somebody always goes yeah but we've landed on the moon, and that's the point really, US's last great contribution to the world was over a generation ago and the organisation that did it is being defunded. America was one great.

It's not their fault they're taught that they are the centre of the whole world.
Considering a lot of OPs posts are about America and it's politics, I'm wondering if they down vote their own posts.

No I don't believe that North Korea has the potential to be a threat to the United States. I've seen North Korea help Russia threaten Ukraine. How's that going for them. Europe is currently pissing themselves wondering what they can do against Russia without America's help, that's been kinda funny to watch.
We took the Soviet Union seriously. There's a difference: The Soviet Union had Ukraine in it. Turns out they were the brains of the operation.
As for China...I think I'm gonna live long enough to see that fight.
