It is significantly more likely to read:

“Europeans of Lemmy……?”

“As an American……!”

    I'll take your word for it, though I assume it is the case. Like I said....it's just the internet doing what it does (for better or worse).

    "As an American" (though speaking only for myself) when I see those, I don't even go into them because my opinion wasn't solicited. I also don't throw out my opinions in non-American news/politics communities for the same reason. Also, I wish that was a two-way street.

    That would be nice! I understand that everyone probably feels entitled to comment, given the amount of US-centric content one is bombarded with, and the shit-show our country has descended into.

    Still, I see a disturbing number of upvoted comments that are just anti-Americans (i.e., not disparaging the government, but the citizenry). Shitting on people for where they were born is as valid as astrology, and nationality is not a good indicator of moral fiber.

    Is that why US political posts are always filled with people from other countries?
