    I’m saddened by the fact that I understand what this is about.

    I’m not American. I have no reason to know the context of this. I should not know about this idiocy. My attention has been hijacked. Every time I learn about something as stupid as this, I feel like I’m wasting precious resources. There are more important things closer to me that I should be worrying about.

    How I wish I could block out all this and enjoy a nice surf on the web without having my awareness polluted.

      It’s so depressing. I mean, it can be nice to see there’s a place where stupid people have stupid problems, to give my problems some perspective, but it’s impossible now to open the web without non-stop American stupidity confrontation. It’s nice to go to a theme park, it’s hell to live there. I wish there was an American-free platform. Even Lemmy, which is mostly hosted in Europe, is completely taken over by Murica slop. No wonder those Americans are so self centered, when the entire world has to live in their drama.

        I absolutely adore finding someone that drops ‘TDS’ in an online convo. Like, me am dumb, what TDS mean? Please eli5. And then they inevitably try to distance themselves, because using anything other than dog whistles is fucking terrifying to MAGA.

      Why would she need to? Trump also has some “inspiring” quotes himself: “Grab em’ by the pussy.” “If she wasn’t my daughter I would be dating her.” “I think she’s going to have big breasts like her mother.” I won’t list more because it makes my flesh curdle but you can find them yourself.
