Oh, yes, the only superpower of like 4. Europe, Russia, China, USA.

100% I agree with that stance. However, as far as I'm concerned, he's not even a user. He's nothing. I would tell you what I think about him, but I don't.

Is Russia still considered a superpower? Lately it feels like more of China's sockpuppet.

If only keyword filters would’ve work for pictures as well. Also, lemmy 1.0 will support keywords platform-wide.

So, spamming.

Explain how this is spamming

Or US news in “pics” or “memes”

Well, they supposedly still have enough functional nukes to cause another mass extinction, so I wouldn't bank on a bluff, but you're not wrong either.

All news happens somewhere

USA users are also aggressive when you complain

It's another effect of the last few generations being raised on authoritarian teat. They're always right, and all dissenting opinions aren't just wrong, they're personal attacks.

I saw this shit in adults when I was growing up, in the US in the 90s. People here are straight-up brainwashed. I became a skeptic by age 12, and boy oh boy, did my teachers have a problem with it. I'd debunk myths and "old wives tales," especially when teachers spread them. I'd research and bring in evidence to support my points. Sounds like a great teaching opportunity, right? Not when the teachers lean authoritarian.

Even the best science teacher in my middle school couldn't admit to the class that he lied about swallowed gum staying in your stomach for seven years. He told me I was right in private, after I brought in two books and a magazine explaining that it was a myth. But the other kids? They didn't believe me, because teacher said it's true, so it must be true. As to the teacher, I guess it's just easier to control kids with a lie than to have a little humility, stand up for truth and science, and accept whatever happens after. It spoke volumes to me about where the adults around me stood. I already knew the kids were swallowing the propaganda, but seeing the adults have so little backbone angered me.

So yeah, we're pretty fucked as a culture. Needless to say, I stopped being surprised by the acceptance of fascism long ago. Too many people here like the idea of just being told things by someone speaking with confidence. To question that is to be a shit-stirrer and there will be consequences for it. This also explains why we accept terrible bosses and working conditions - it's all part of the same big picture.

Absolutely they are, but they're in fall.

Also, I find lemmy wild. One person here said china is doing the wests (which includes europe) bidding, you now said russia is chinas puppet. Since Russia is fighting europe, which is "the west", are the europeans fighting themselves? There can be a capitalist argument made here, but otherwise there is severe misinformation here, possibly just based on the lack of nuance. We should fix that collectively.

Don't worry, we hate this country too

Though, we are part of the world last I checked, so while I understand an eye roll level of annoyance at US news being posted in a world news community, some of y'all need therapy with how angry you're getting. It's weird.

Do you even know what spamming is or are you just mad and blaming other people for your lack of ability to curate your experience

It's a bunch of people filling up a community with something irrelevant. Explain how it isn't.

I'm blaming Americans for their lack of ability to understand they're not the centre of the world. Why does it bother you so much?

Here I'll give you an example: The exact same comment you made was made a couple of hours before, yet you still felt the need to post it because you think you're very important.

Ukraine's army is holding back Russia on it's own and you believe that europe is scared?
You are absolutely delusional.
