(I don’t know which of these you’re supposed to share, but it’s a good community).
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !notuspolitics@lemmy.world
Thanks!
I’ve been trying to upload it for 1 hour, sorry for the peoples whi saw it 3 times already 😬
Nice gif
Not a shitpost, it’s a FACT. Lol
Facts
Gods, this is so accurate. A part of me wish we could just isolate the U.S. for a bit, because I’d be curious to see how that’d affect the discourse in the rest of the world. The rise of the far right and Trump legitimately being voted in as president legitimised the far-right movements in my country as well. Last election people were literally pushing for the stop-and-frisk BS to become a thing here.
I hate that I know what stop-and-frisk even is.
Yup, they’re bringing the whole world down with them
You’re just jealous it’s not Europe’s job anymore.
Ahah yes, we’re taking turns
On the bright side, if civilization doesn’t collapse we’ll eventually all get to complain about why the news is Chinese politics 24/7
Task failed successfully
Like the rest of the worlds shit is any better. Right wing facists are on the rise everywhere. Ours are just fucking stupider.
Italy facists, brexit, climate, etc fucking whole world is a dumpster.
I’m not saying European politicians are fundamentally better, I’m just saying it’s been a while since one of them got their mugshot taken for going to jail under election fraud charges 🤷
Some of them would deserve that treatment too, I’m sure.
None of them was president though
Yeah, they tend to be prime ministers instead, looking at you Orban.
I think we’re happening in Poland and Hungary is worse then the US
Russia and Belarus are a part of Europe too…
Oh I agree, hence the “ours are stupider” comment :D
Every time I mentioned Trump on Reddit’s world news sub, I got shouted down for talking about “irrelevant” US politics. I tried to explain his potential impact on the politics of other countries, but they didn’t want to hear it.
He wasn’t legitimately voted in, though.
In 2016? I would’ve loved to see Hillary be President but that’s not what we got.
FUCKIN SHUT UP FOR FIVE FUCKING MINUTES
By the gods, were it to be so!
I would too so enjoy if, as if from some casement unseen, a pair of disembodied, godly hands were to reach down shoo away those br-r-rown masses from Albion and her sisters, to keep them pure!
It is a crime against Balthūre that they invented fascism in 2016!
In the meantime, I will be feasting for this day!
We need a new internet, without shootings and two party politics!
But with blackjack and hookers!

If that happened, the rest of the world would still find a way to talk about the US the whole time.
Try being Canadian. We’ve lost all sense of self-identity here
I knew you guys were screwed when i read about Canadian screaming about “the 1st amendment” when getting arrested by the police.
We talk more about Trump here than our own politicians.
And our politicians are Trump supporters.
That must be really shitty. Force to you brother.

Even the Newfie slang is less common
Is there like a framerate shortage going around right now?
Yeah this is bring-your-own-frame day, you didn’t get the memo ?
Fuck yes, 240hz gang UNITE!
Even with the low framerate it’s still highly inefficient and comes to 23MB. This is why you don’t use gif for video.
Like anyone’s gonna give out free frame - HA, not in this economy!
Gif is too small. Needs at least another 100 megs of weight
I love how most of the Lemmy instances are hosted on European servers, yet Europeans still don’t have enough population, money, or influence to change the status quo.
US politics does not belong in World News, yet the upvote counts say otherwise. Europeans need to step up the game and encourage more other Europeans to join Kbin/Lemmy. This will never be fixed without the numbers.

English is the issue. There are only about 80M people who speak English as a first language in Europe, out of 0.8 billion or so. Yeah, plenty of people who are relatively fluent in English participate in English social media, but many also spend a lot of time in social media in their own language, something English-speakers never see.
The Fediverse has a pretty big German-speaking population, but not as much French, Italian, Spanish, etc. I don’t know where they are – probably Facebook / Instagram.
Google tells me there’s like 332 million people in the US and like 750 million in Europe. I get that they’re different countries, but different states here might as well be.
Are there posts Europeans make that I’m just not seeing (beyond complaints like this one), or is there something else that keeps them from posting and upvoting the content they apparently want to see in places like world news?
Different states are not like literally different countries.
Exactly, different states still have their country as common ground. Most Europeans identify with their nationality first, and as a European second.
People in North America identified with their colony/state first, and the United States second back in the 1700s. Give it time…
That’s not even remotely comparable to the situation in Europe.
The European Union is a confederation, just like the United States under the Articles of Confederation was.
Different states in the early 1800s might be like different European countries are today. But, today, states have a lot less power, and people generally think of themselves as American first.
In addition, European countries speak different languages. That severely limits the common ground you share with neighbouring countries.
They also have different cultures, traditions, history, etc.
Yeah, European countries have histories going back a thousand years or more. While there’s going to be some shared history in border regions (often they swapped back and forth between countries depending on who was strong and who was weak), there’s a lot of differences between them that are pretty deep seated.
If those countries shared a common language the cultures would tend to blend over time. When they speak different languages that process is a lot slower.
IMO the differences between major US cities are smaller than the differences between any given city and the rural areas surrounding that city.
Even then, different states in the early 1800s had more or less the same history/origins (colonists that arrived relatively recently)
I get that they’re different countries, but different states here might as well be.
^ This guy Articles of Confederation.
(Seriously, the European Union basically has the same kind of structure now as the United States did between 1776 and 1789.)
Europeans tend to prefer discussing local matters in their own language
OC for the one of the most oft repeated memes is like kissing your sister
Wholesome?
Right?
This is so accurate you could use it as a scope to shoot a fly from a rat ass all the way from across the next town.
Th…thanks ?
Welcome buddy.
Sounds like Europeans need to step up on being a dumpster fire if they want as much coverage as us. Be the change you want to see in the world!
Let’s open nomination for “Florida Man”, EU
Hey well seems that most of EU is working on it sadly
Between Meloni, Órban, PiS, the True Finns, etc. I think there are plenty of dumpster fires
the True Finns
I didn’t know the Samis were in charge of finland now
I can only inagine how sick of hearing his name europeans are, I’ve been sick of it since 2015 and I’m American. Honestly at this point I just want to go one whole day without hearing his fucking name. I can’t think of one other person that applies to in politics, celebrities, anything.
Honestly I’m more sick of hearing of Musk by now. At least with Trump there’s a sadistic part to me that keeps wondering how low reps can go, but with Musk, I’m just sick of him. I don’t care about his little tantrums at all and every little shit gets hundreds of upvotes.
In the same timeframe, we had Brexit which was our own local annoying piece of never ending shitshow
See this is my biggest gripe on people complaining about Trump.
During brexit my feed was full of Boris memes and news. It was really fucking weird watching two different countries get fucked by a fat old man with fake blonde hair
Extreme incompetence is news worthy.
American local news cycles from city to county to state to national, and then starts over again.
American national news is just one outrage after another.
ITT Europeans once again acting like American politics don’t affect them in any way.
Anyone else think it’s funny that Britain got Boris around the same time America got trump?
Just because we have a huge cultural effect doesn’t mean europeans want to be drowned out by our issues, some relatable and some unique.
The reason you see a right shift in many countries is because more people are feeling left behind. Also, people build conservative echo chambers online that reinforce certain arguments regardless of your nationality. So it is no surprise that right wing rhetoric is on the rise in many places.
How does more people feeling left behind lead to conservatism though? This is a genuine question.
Because living felt better in the past.
That’s the root of conservatism. And yeah, it does devolve to “my dick wasn’t limp, my tits didn’t sag, my knees didn’t hurt, and I was ignorant enough to not see the problems I see clearly now”.
because these people use the right words to convince the people feeling left behind that they will care for them and make their lifes better.
In other words, make promises and tell them what they want to hear, while telling them you hate the same people they do.
Then go do whatever the hell you want, and keep telling your followers you’re helping them.
