    Kinda gross how chauvinist americans are in taking the default term “politics” instead of “US politics” while ignoring international affairs. It was gross on reddit and it’s gross here.

      It gets even worse when you see the mods dismissing this reasonable criticism as “trolling”. They have decided that this is their turf because they’ve gotten here first, regardless of utility or rationality. Pretty much describes the whole state of politics in their country.

    Lemmy world -> politics = USA… it feels so wrong but well, the block button is there for something, isn’t it?

      Seriously. This is egregious enough that it makes me wonder if admins can rename communities.

    They’re not really much debate going on in this community. 95% of all posts are just “lol republican dumb Nazis” and every comment that’s not agreeing is downvoted to hell.
