*World* news vs US politics - eviltoast

Please. All of this is mostly US politics. Please do not hijack “world news” to mean whatever new shit Desantis or someone else said this week. Every other magazine/community/whatever is already full of that shit. Please.

Please. Please. Please.

US politics already swamp out most of the content on the entire fediverse. It may seem like the world to you but there’s almost 200 countries on this planet that are not the US.

PLEASE DO NOT.

Thank you.

    Meh, Europe has been dealing with fascist and other extremist people in politics for 20 years on a larger scale, and in some circles and areas of the world it’s never gone away. It’s nothing new, we just know better how to deal with them and they come and go. Instead of thinking it’s some new American thing the rest of the world needs to learn about, you should learn how politics elsewhere works.

        I don’t doubt we’re all fucked, but I don’t see how that means that I need to read about every school shooting, every Trump’s fart or every nonsense Musk says 300 times on my timeline. That thing about police dogs dying yesterday, on world news, that was also quite a pearl.
