I am not sure which is worse. Web v3 or Americans fucking everywhere on the internet making everywhere and everything a discussion about American Political, taking over every fman forum on the internet. Especially international ones, where you will find posts like, “as an American…”

Shut the fuck up. The rest of the world does not care about your shitty internal politics.

    Åhhh the good old “no i”. We get it. One echo chamber says “Trump good” and the other says “Trump bad”, and then you get your cocks out and masturbatr each other for a job well done. Well done.

Absolutely not. As a european, I find it extremely interesting to look for the parallels and differences between our societies and how problems are handled. We can all learn from each other.

The problem is, that we fail to produce an equal amount of output because we don’t have a common language and still see ourselves as our national identities rather than Europeans. If we widened our view and noticed more of what’s happening in other countries, we could be absolutely on par with the content Americans make and it would take us all a step closer to become actual world citizens.

  Thats not how tribalism works. Thats not how anything works. Us Europeans do speak English, amongst a couple of more, or three other languages. You cant take the animal out of the human and go, ah tribalism is a social construct. Good luck with that. I am multicultural myself, but even so, having an identity is important for just about everybody. And by the state of things, who in their right mind would want to be on par with the content America makes?

    Oh man, there is so much to unpack here. We have been well past the tribal stage for millennia now, so I don’t really get your point here. And yes it was a social construct, not all animals are tribal. Great apes have very different social structures and behaviours regarding other groups, just compare chimpanzees and bonobos.
    
    Human history is full of examples of overcoming tribal structures. The fact, that people from all over the world write English on platforms like lemmy is proof that it can’t be that important to stick to your “tribe” (I think you mean language group?) and exclude others.
    
    And no, most europeans did not speak English well enough to take part in deeper conversations until very recently. We are getting there though and it’s absolutely noticeable when you look at YouTube content, subs and conversations on reddit, cultural products like music (compare the languages of the ESC now vs. 30 years ago).
    
    I also don’t get what you mean by “identity”. Why can’t European, world citizen or human be an identity? National identities are just as manufactured as others would be.
    
    And by “content” I’m obviously not talking about tiktok dances in hardware stores. I’m talking about what OP posted, critical analysis, politics, opinions.

    So much to unpack? Oh, you sweet summer child. Tribalism isn’t just putting up a physical wall within your own claimed territory. It’s beyond language, gate keeping who should be able to love one another, heck even politics, which shows that it isn’t a social construct. English as a matter of language is more often used because we import/export, and the positives outweigh the negatives. And I am well over thirty years old and well before youtube, many Europeans were already fluent in English. It is easier now, sure, but its also easier to learn it wrong.
    
    This video being a critical analysis, etc. is just your opinion. Do not do like the American echo bubbles and confuse opinion with fact, due to poor education on the matter.

As an American …… ok, now that I annoyed you back, maybe a push for better categorization or labeling would be more useful. Looks like it’s in a “Video” community and it’s a video.

Clearly Web v3 is more annoying because it Durant even have good intentions

  Being an American isn’t a problem at all. I love Americans. Just those who doesn’t put politics first and go out of their way to flood people around them with their opinions on who the temporary employee in the White House is, who it should have been and why the employee is everything that is wrong with the current situation.
  
  I bet most Americans just go on with their day and try to make the best of everything, you know, like the rest of the world, not being obsessed by some individual.

    If you care at all about the quality of your life, then you need to be interested in politics. It isn’t as simple as you put it, at least not anymore.
    
    The country of the U.S. is in a state of crisis of which I don’t think we’ve seen in over 150 years. Sorry if it bothers you to hear about, but this stuff is important.
    
    Personally, I try to learn as much about other countries’ politics and history to find out how the world got to where we are. If these videos or posts about the U.S. politics bother you, I would recommend just skipping over them and avoid the potential negative emotional reaction you displayed earlier.

    Interesting that you say these things now, when earlier in this thread you told me to fuck myself and get a hobby, called me a bitch and a Karen, and said that I "spread like a virus", all because I posted a single politically-motivated link in my 2 months on this platform. Where was your poignant insight on the duality of man then?

    Because most Americans so not post this shit or even care about it, and I guess that if they did, the know that theyd be contributing to a problem.
