Gods, this is so accurate. A part of me wish we could just isolate the U.S. for a bit, because I'd be curious to see how that'd affect the discourse in the rest of the world. The rise of the far right and Trump legitimately being voted in as president legitimised the far-right movements in my country as well. Last election people were literally pushing for the stop-and-frisk BS to become a thing here.

I hate that I know what stop-and-frisk even is.

We need a new internet, without shootings and two party politics!

But with blackjack and hookers!

Yup, they're bringing the whole world down with them

You're just jealous it's not Europe's job anymore.

[-] Wats0ns@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

Ahah yes, we're taking turns

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 12 points 10 months ago

On the bright side, if civilization doesn't collapse we'll eventually all get to complain about why the news is Chinese politics 24/7

Sounds like Europeans need to step up on being a dumpster fire if they want as much coverage as us. Be the change you want to see in the world!

[-] Wats0ns@sh.itjust.works 47 points 10 months ago

Hey well seems that most of EU is working on it sadly

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 16 points 10 months ago

Between Meloni, Órban, PiS, the True Finns, etc. I think there are plenty of dumpster fires

Is there like a framerate shortage going around right now?

[-] Wats0ns@sh.itjust.works 28 points 10 months ago

Yeah this is bring-your-own-frame day, you didn't get the memo ?

[-] Odo@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

Even with the low framerate it's still highly inefficient and comes to 23MB. This is why you don't use gif for video.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

A lot of frame rate is currently being shipped to Ukraine

I can only inagine how sick of hearing his name europeans are, I've been sick of it since 2015 and I'm American. Honestly at this point I just want to go one whole day without hearing his fucking name. I can't think of one other person that applies to in politics, celebrities, anything.

[-] wieli99@sh.itjust.works 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Honestly I'm more sick of hearing of Musk by now. At least with Trump there's a sadistic part to me that keeps wondering how low reps can go, but with Musk, I'm just sick of him. I don't care about his little tantrums at all and every little shit gets hundreds of upvotes.

[-] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

In the same timeframe, we had Brexit which was our own local annoying piece of never ending shitshow

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

See this is my biggest gripe on people complaining about Trump.

During brexit my feed was full of Boris memes and news. It was really fucking weird watching two different countries get fucked by a fat old man with fake blonde hair

Extreme incompetence is news worthy.

[-] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 34 points 10 months ago

For if you never seen the original.

[-] Chriskmee@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

I could have sworn the original had better than 240p quality...

[-] BaroqueInMind@kbin.social 33 points 10 months ago

I love how most of the Lemmy instances are hosted on European servers, yet Europeans still don't have enough population, money, or influence to change the status quo.

US politics does not belong in World News, yet the upvote counts say otherwise. Europeans need to step up the game and encourage more other Europeans to join Kbin/Lemmy. This will never be fixed without the numbers.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago

Europeans still don’t have enough population, money, or influence to change the status quo.

English is the issue. There are only about 80M people who speak English as a first language in Europe, out of 0.8 billion or so. Yeah, plenty of people who are relatively fluent in English participate in English social media, but many also spend a lot of time in social media in their own language, something English-speakers never see.

The Fediverse has a pretty big German-speaking population, but not as much French, Italian, Spanish, etc. I don't know where they are -- probably Facebook / Instagram.

[-] hibsen@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Google tells me there's like 332 million people in the US and like 750 million in Europe. I get that they're different countries, but different states here might as well be.

Are there posts Europeans make that I'm just not seeing (beyond complaints like this one), or is there something else that keeps them from posting and upvoting the content they apparently want to see in places like world news?

[-] Damage@slrpnk.net 40 points 10 months ago

Europeans tend to prefer discussing local matters in their own language

Different states are not like literally different countries.

[-] nl_the_shadow@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Exactly, different states still have their country as common ground. Most Europeans identify with their nationality first, and as a European second.

Try being Canadian. We've lost all sense of self-identity here

I knew you guys were screwed when i read about Canadian screaming about "the 1st amendment" when getting arrested by the police.

[-] Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

We talk more about Trump here than our own politicians.

And our politicians are Trump supporters.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !notuspolitics@lemmy.world

This is so accurate you could use it as a scope to shoot a fly from a rat ass all the way from across the next town.

American local news cycles from city to county to state to national, and then starts over again.

American national news is just one outrage after another.
