Reddit became too America focused. Most of the posts were about America or assumed everyone reading was American. It felt very exclusionary.
But that were some good opportunities to dunk on the world epicenter, i've always took them
What id like to see on Lemmy is less America-hate... Or just hating on countries in general. Hatable humans live in countries, let's talk about them instead of everybody in that country. "Gunshot story? Must be America!" Gets old really quick
I hate many countries, USA included. But not the people. Heck I even hate my own country.
The thing is, the people don't run those countries.
But, also I do need to mention that the laws that are being made do affect the society and their ideas.
This, nationalism is just the worst. You've achieved nothing by being born in a certain country, waving that flag around proudly thinking you're superior to anyone else is just something i can't understand.
Countries that import imperialism abroad should be disliked and hated though that shouldn't be a controversial statement.
Nice try, American person.
