I agree with the sentiment but trump is happening to your country too. America does effect the world even us non Americans.
I’m Canadian so it’s certainly more pronounced but not a single country is uneffected by his actions and by the american market.
Lastly, feel free to post about your country and its issues. I’d personally love to see some shotposting about countries I don’t know much on or don’t pay enough attention to. Win win. Less trump posts per capita, more content on Lemmy, and we all learn

I already engage with what is happening in the US enough, but I try and avoid it here on Lemmy. I am mainly responding here in defence of someone who was jumped on for wanting to be able to regulate their intake of US politics.

I am not the most creative when it comes to memes, but I do post about Australian police issues over at !acab@quokk.au
This is just American exceptionalism. Let me reframe it, how many of those people would be unaffected by the outcome of Chinese events? Yet there are nowhere near as many posts about what is happening there.
But most of all, I think OCs complaint is valid. All it would have taken is text added to the post that just said “Trump” and this would have been filtered by their keyword blocklist (and mine), their freedom to disengage remaining intact. OP replied to mock them when they could have made that change. That is what frustrates me.
If think what is happening in the USA will be isolated to the USA, then good luck.
USD is the worlds reserve currency. What happens to it effects every country.
I know that every aspect of life is political now, and that makes some mad. But really ask yourself how your country will be affected by the devaluation of USD and its next financial crisis. Then ask what would your country use for international trade instead?
how was your country affected by the last financial crisis in the USA?
how much US bonds/debt does your country own?
What is coming will affect everyone in who’s country is is in anyway economically affiliated with the US.
This post was meant to be a wakeup call for people to do a risk assessment.
Honestly, I hope I’m wrong and what happens in the US can be totally isolated here. But realistically, I can’t think of a way that’s true.
And you being awful to someone who needs to disconnect from US politics is helping how exactly? This is all just the same American exceptionalism that’s existed on Lemmy (and Reddit before that) since the Obama era. You could literally just edit “trump” into your post and folks like myself and OC could choose how to regulate their feeds. I already get enough US politics from everywhere else that doesn’t have these keyword blocklist options.
Did you know that there are non-Americans on Lemmy? And that they maybe, just maybe, might want to focus on what is happening in their own countries?

On the flipside, how many of those people live in countries that would be unaffected by the outcome of US events?
