Team Multiplayer in general. There’s nothing fun about getting yelled at and in some cases banned for not playing the meta.

Yeah the PBS hack was LulzSec
Guns are pretty much banned in Japan and the UK.
Still, presenting it as a binary is harmful to the movement, when Americans regularly poll in favor of stricter gun measures but not an outright ban.
According to polling most Americans support stricter gun control measures but not a ban. As usual, it’s the Electoral College and FPTP (IMO, no country with either should be listed as a full democracy. Not USA, not UK, and not Canada.) Still, it is true that the gun issue is too often presented as binary (but I’d actually say this is just as common with foreigners arguing for gun bans as it is with Americans arguing against it.)
Taylor Swift is clouted up. She can move away from Twitter and people will follow.
I’d give up gun control for America to no longer be allied with Israel.
Minecraft is mostly popular with people who were 5 - 12 years old 10 years ago.
Foreigners might not get this post’s reason for existing, but with some people it really does feel like we’re supposed to rebuke everything we see on a day to day basis and sometimes everyone we see, or else we’re no better than Maga MacDougall who actively donates to AIPAC over here. Sometimes an exception is made for Black culture, but it’s usually a shallow one that unravels the minute they have to elaborate on their dislike for American culture. “Americans should be more cultured” is an okay criticism but a lot of people who say that aren’t satisfied unless we come to the conclusion that everything about our home is bad.
And I have never found an elaboration on “America has no culture” that wasn’t steeped in some combination of appeals to a pure and ideal past, ignorance of how migration shapes every culture, classism, and sometimes even racism. As far as I’m concerned, you’re a statue PFP if you say this.
Japan is probably the next biggest cultural exporter after the US and isn’t that much bigger than Germany or Norway.
Holy shit we found JD Vance’s Lemmy account
Who’s going to stop you?
Anyway, US politics affects the whole world. I hate a lot of the commentary coming from particular regions (Western Europe, Australia, Canada) but it still affects them.
There’s definitely a relationship between the marginalization of dark skinned people (men and women) and the view of dark skinned people as more masculine (therefore more dangerous.)
Have they never seen a music video before?
“Cwm”
One of a few words that use W as a vowel. (This is how the word “Pwn” works too)
Bloons TD 6.
I guess I have to contribute to popping bloons… somehow??? Idk.
Fascists provide easy (but often fake) answers to hard problems. Loneliness, the fear of replacement, that kind of thing.
Even arguably the two most similar cultures in the world, the United States and Canada, have enough disagreements on how government should work that there wouldn’t be massive support on either side for them to merge.
Not to mention 1A has worked against Rowling in the past (she threatens libel lawsuits that are valid in the UK, but US doesn’t extradite for stuff that would be considered free speech there.)
I mean, if there wasn’t fourty years worth of context for why this is bad, I’d agree with it.
Like, it could mean infrastructure projects or a renewed investment in education or something. But alas it honestly just means “destroy and loot America by deceiving uneducated rural whites” at this point.
My city’s most recent mayoral election is arguably a better argument for FPTP sucking than US presidential elections. The progressives were split between two candidates so we got the moderate, who’s pro-car in a city where people move for walkability and is painfully clearly trying to get an inroads to national politics.
It’s better than the nearby, bigger city though. SHEESH.
