For me it’s not even about that. I do not care about US politics, I just want to see some funny memes
I’m from the UK, our politics is bad enough without throwing US in there
We have our own issues to solve first and foremost . I live in a major Canadian city and I've never seen maga people, I honestly blame those people watching too much American politics in the first place.
I somewhat agree, but for my own mental health I’ve had to try and avoid it if I can. I still stay informed, I just don’t want US politics in every area of my life. I probably agree with most people on this site politically, I just don’t want to be so involved in that mind space all the time.
It also feels very US-defaultism to put US memes here all the time. Sure, most people here are probably American, but not everyone is.
I find it quite difficult to block only US politics due to how it’s the “default” so people rarely specify it’s the US. It also just tends to be constant work as new scandals and stuff pop up.
If anyone has some good filters please let me know.
Ya that's called usdefaultism.
That's why I no longer specify which unit of measurement I am talking about anymore. It's funny to watch Americans tell me I'm wrong.
"Ya that costs like 30 bucks" and they come screaming about how I'm getting scammed because it's only $20. Meanwhile I'm talking about CAD, not USD.
Or when I'm talking about temperature, cities, etc.
