Why the hell do all these continents start with an a and ends with an a?!
Europe needs to be renamed Auropa

Europe is just West Asia peninsula.

Seriously, why are they considered different continents? Let’s just be Eurasia.

Well, that was more of a rhetorical question. This new European narrative is buzzing and I get it. But I think that any move forward should involve everyone who wants to co-create new rules and then play by them. Replacing America first with Europe first is just dumb.

That is of course true, but…
Americans habe a right to have their own things as well. Not everything they do needs to be global. If someone from there wants to ask other Americans or just other US residents a question and they prefix it with “Americans of Lemmy” or “US residents in Lemmy”, I think that’s fine.
And similarly, if an European person has a thought they know os connected to them living in Europe, it makes sense that they direct their questions to Europeans.
What I hate is.when people talk like “what do you think about”, but actually means for the question to be a answered by US residents only, or talk on an international forum as if there was a leftist party in US congress or senate. If you want to ask a US-centric or Japan-centric or Eurocentric question, then by all means, go for it, in my opinion – as long as the question is clearly marked as such.
And this one is.
