Aye, that’s the point I’m making, I don’t go to to Feddit and acted shocked it’s a bunch of Germans talking about Germany

I mean, it’s called .world, it’s not crazy to assume people from around the world would interact there
You might be on to something 🤔
Oh boy, wait until they find out about the World Series of anything.
I wish I was in Europe. Where I could pretend that news about our downfall was for a time at a distance and would never affect me.
End stage capitalism comes for all nations given enough time.
Name one? The romans were not capitalists.
South Korea.
Still a democracy. They actually put CEO’s in jail there.
Sure, but the obsessive focus on econimic growth is directly responsible for their birthrate plummeting to a disasterous level. And well, they may still have a democracy and some CEO’s may see jailtime there, but I have personally heard a few too many stories about the rich and powerful over there getting away with shit. Plus the country is pretty much owned and run by Samsung.
Oh don’t worry it will affect us alright, it’s just that we don’t have any say in whatever happens there.
Not so different after all 🇪🇺💞🇱🇷!
Like any of us do? I’m just waiting for lines to be drawn where I know where I can stand.
You are a citizen of the state. You might not be able to do it alone, but it’s your mess to fix, when all other means fail (voting, institutions etc).
I do what I can in a deeply red state where putting a democratic anything in your yard or on your car gets you attacked. When the lines are drawn I will probably be in the nearest blue zone which I guarantee will draw troops. Its the plan to occupy the cities and terrorize the populace to violence. Then they are just defending themselves against ‘evil’ terrorist. Its what they did when George Floyd was killed. They incited the violence and used it as an excuse to injure and kill protesters.
You’re counting on your masters to organize you, and for the needs to be violence alone.
No I’m not. I don’t know exactly how you gathered that from my statement but you are way off.
There is something so ironic about this post xD what about the other continents? I have been told they have people with internet access too xD
Well, there are a lot of penguin posts here.
IDK, I never browse All, basically. Funny meme, tho.
I think they talk about the USA even more over on ML tbh, but with a difference in connotations.
Increase your population, elect the worst leaders, ditch universal healthcare and other social supports, and your country can contest the US in potential topics for the All feed!
Well I suppose I’ll take that silver lining then, given how our continents going for the most part
Isn’t LW Dutch?
And if we’re just talking about All, mine seems to be predominantly porn and Germans
Which is frankly, a pretty European combo
I’m not European but I am Canadian and I don’t know if Americans realise how annoying it is that any general community like “politics” or “news” is specifically American as per the rules. I was really hoping we’d leave the US defaultism behind on Reddit
I wonder if people complained about the German defaultism in 1911 or 1936.
There were complaints that any serious academic work had to be in German during the late 1800s
It is so annoying and it’s my biggest complaint about Lemmy. Every dang thread, the comment section is usually filled with US politics discussion even if it’s a completely unrelated topic.
Let’s not bring the Netherlands into this. I can get the gist from English or German, but Dutch is right out. Weirdos.
Tell that to all the non US specific named communities created on LW, that are actually US specific according to rules.
Politics, news… All those communities are actually US specific, while having a nonUS name and being hosted on Europe. It irritates me.
c’est parce que lemmy.world (et la plupart des instances) est anglophone, donc a un biais américain/britannique
moi je propose que tout le monde parle dans sa langue maternelle, pis de toute façon les logiciels de traduction sont rendus assez bon on va pouvoir se comprendre quand même
(/j)
oui, baguette
Omelette du fromage
French just has a certain… Je ne sais quoi
Je suis un oncle d’un singe.
Je voudrais voir francophone « content », où sont le content francophone?
Ils sont à jlai.lu.
Right. For example my browser did a perfectly cromulent job of translating what you just wrote into a language I can read …… unless you weren’t talking about a plot to take over the world
You joke, but I would welcome this.
(/j)Amigo, a tu español le falta mas práctica. Muy apenas se te entiende.

Opino lo mismo. Que le sufran un tantito como nos tocó sufrirle alguna vez antes de aprender inglés. 🤭

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Je m’en fous
Ashamed American here and I assume your comment was in French, and those are the only two things I have even the vaguest clue how to pronounce in French (but I had to look up the spelling!)
Funny enough, as you suggested, I popped your text into a translator after typing out the above and using my limited second language knowledge, and it turns out, I managed to get the general gist of it without the help of a translator!
35-years out of French class and I parsed most of that!
Gute Idee. Machen wa so.
Ich hatte einige Jahre Französisch und hab sogar ungefähr gecheckt was du meinst, geil.
américain/britannique
C’est compréhensible et logique, bien sûr, mais <<américain/britannique>> est douloureux à voir en tant que Britannique.
Is EU not one of the distant states of USA?
I look at all and wonder why Europeans can’t stop talking about the US.
The loud ones seldom know wtf is going on here.
I know most do, though.
Maybe if 'Muricans kept their shit to themselves. Alas, we must hear their news and politics, and/or be affected by it somehow, even if we steppen’t in their country
steppen’t
come again?
Ok, since you ask so nicel-wait a minute… ya ain’t gon’ fool me. I stepn’t there, and even if I had, I mightn’t again
My bad ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I feel pretty European when I wake up and see all the German stuff trending in the morning.
Nah, Piefed filters are great.
there’s two things I hate. People who are intolerant to other federated instances, and piefed users.
don’t worry, every piefed user will let you know they use piefed. they’re the “arch users” of federated social media.
Oh by the way did I tell you I’m vegan.
wow dude
It’s from Austin powers. It’s like one of the most quoted lines from Austin powers.
Agreed. When I tried Lemmy, it didn’t have filters, so that was an immediate no for me. I just don’t get the appeal of being fed a list, and not being able to filter out the noise.
Not Europe but I can relate.
