The majority of english-speaking Lemmy users are from the US. Sadly, they think that they are the onle ones. More importantly, they think that US politics is important to everyone outside of the US.
It does affect other countries but not to the extent that people in the US think. The whole english internet is full of random election articles and posts. Yet in German news for example, barely anyone even mentions the US election. Harris is a new candidate and she now has a vice president. That’s pretty much the whole news of the entire month. It’s a side-quote. It’s really not that important.
This arrogance of some Americans is astonishing. You enjoy playing world police but you have no rights to force it on others especially when it’s not even related to the discussion. Literally don’t care where you spend your GDP. We spend it on the people, you spend it elsewhere. I don’t judge you if you stop judging us. We don’t spam European news on you but you should really read it anyways because I feel like you have a gap in your education.
You’re spending that money for your military imperialism. Not because you’re generous. And because you’re doing this anyways, we were smart about it and opted to spend our money in a better education and health care system. There is nothing to be proud of. You’re being taken advantage of.
206 up, 20 down.
The nerds have spoken.
I agree with you though.

Yeah us politics don’t really impact anyone else on the planet outside of the 50 states

How much U.S. military $$ is spent in Germany? You should shut up.
Oh, not the “we fund you” narrative again. 🙄
The US military spent a lot in Europe, yet when Ukraine was first invaded this proved to be completely and utterly useless.
Shut up, dimwit.
I hate that the U.S. hasn’t done tremendously more aggressive defense of Ukraine.
That’s just a tiny fraction of the overall financial investment across the EU.

None of your gobledygook negates the fact that HUGE amount of $$ into Germany is incredibly important. And our politics make that happen.
There is zero argument against that.
I like Germany. I’ve been there while in the Army. I’ve been there as a civilian. I have no complaints or issues with Germany.
Yet, I’ll tell you again, “shut up” about bitching about U.S. politics. Our politics might be even more important to Germany than our own shit.
In closing, STFU.
