    Well you should give a damn about the first amendment, because that’s really what’s at play here, and if the government goes unchallenged in being able to shutdown free speech, you best believe you’ll care then. But if they do succeed, it’ll be too late at that point. So yes, you do care about Jimmy Kimmel and Charlie Kirk right now.

      We have several generations of narrow-minded fools whose sole purpose is I.

      Is it a direct impact they can see or feel in the next 15 minutes? If not, who cares!

      That’s the problem we face now.

      I’m not American so no I don’t. Americans believing they’re the only country in the world again.

        And you don’t think other countries won’t follow suit? Look around, friend. This shit is contagious.

          American issues are constantly being shoved down the rest of the world’s throats, and it’s actually annoying to those of us who don’t live there. Shocking, I know, but how dare I have the audacity to be annoyed by it.

            You’re literally in a post about an American tv thing. Just don’t open the post instead of going in and complaining people are discussing it like a psycho. It’s easy trust me.

            You’re free to set up post filters so you don’t see content you don’t care for. Or move to a platform that isn’t largely US based.

                Poor widdle you, you have to take some agency and curate your feed.

                Block the keywords and comms you don’t care about like the rest of us. Or keep complaining that entire communities don’t conform to what you want them to be. One of those is bound to help.

                  lol I was complaining about having to hear about these guys on all media. I would have to go full Luddite to get away from hearing about the dumpster fire clusterfuck of stupidity that is America.

                    If you make a Piefed account, you can literally filter out post titles with “USA”, “Trump”, “America” etc in them so you never see them.

        So you clicked on a link, then clicked a reply button, then entered in some text, then clicked post… on subject you don’t care about? You’ve done this multiple times on a thread about a subject you say you don’t care about.

        I usually just scroll past the things I don’t care about.

          I hate this specific brand of unlogic so much. “IF YOU INTERACT WITH IT YOU CARE ABOUT IT” is so not how things work.

        It’s not our fault people aren’t posting enough non-US content for your tastes. You’ve posted a grand total of 5 threads over the entire lifetime of your account, and none of them were news articles. So quit your bitching when you’ve done nothing to help!

        If you don’t care about news if it’s not relevant to your country then you’re American. If not legally then at least in spirit.
