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!
Hey well seems that most of EU is working on it sadly
Let’s open nomination for “Florida Man”, EU
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
Like the rest of the worlds shit is any better. Right wing facists are on the rise everywhere. Ours are just fucking stupider.
Italy facists, brexit, climate, etc fucking whole world is a dumpster.
I’m not saying European politicians are fundamentally better, I’m just saying it’s been a while since one of them got their mugshot taken for going to jail under election fraud charges 🤷
Oh I agree, hence the “ours are stupider” comment :D
He wasn’t legitimately voted in, though.
In 2016? I would’ve loved to see Hillary be President but that’s not what we got.
By the gods, were it to be so!
I would too so enjoy if, as if from some casement unseen, a pair of disembodied, godly hands were to reach down shoo away those br-r-rown masses from Albion and her sisters, to keep them pure!
It is a crime against Balthūre that they invented fascism in 2016!
In the meantime, I will be feasting for this day!
If that happened, the rest of the world would still find a way to talk about the US the whole time.
The USA has wanted to be isolationist for centuries but just like the Godfather film they keep getting sucked back into international geopolitics.
20% of Americans wanted to make a peace deal with Hitler. This is how little they care about what’s happening outside America.
Is there like a framerate shortage going around right now?
Yeah this is bring-your-own-frame day, you didn’t get the memo ?
Fuck yes, 240hz gang UNITE!
Even with the low framerate it’s still highly inefficient and comes to 23MB. This is why you don’t use gif for video.
A lot of frame rate is currently being shipped to Ukraine
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.
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?

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.
Google News is the worst. If you use it to get a quick snapshot of what’s going on in the world you won’t find anything outside America. You have to change your region to Germany or Britain to get actual results.
Not a shitpost, it’s a FACT. Lol
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.

And virtually never international, unless there’s a strong US angle.
I’ve been trying to upload it for 1 hour, sorry for the peoples whi saw it 3 times already 😬
Nice gif

ITT Europeans once again acting like American politics don’t affect them in any way.
Anyone else think it’s funny that Britain got Boris around the same time America got trump?
Just because we have a huge cultural effect doesn’t mean europeans want to be drowned out by our issues, some relatable and some unique.
