    “Yes, we know you’re European, but you will gobble American politics down your throat and you will like it!”

        Europeans spent 500 years making everyone suffer for European politics and now they can’t handle that the feed on their pretty lights box isn’t about them.

          It doesn’t need to be about either one of us. This is narcissistic thinking.

          When something politically significant happens in the EU, it gets contained in the political community hell. When something politically significant happens in the USA, it’s forced everywhere and you can’t escape it even if you don’t give the slightest of fucks.

            This is not an insult or coming from a place of ego.

            But.

            The US affects more people globally than the EU. So news about what the biggest gun in the world is doing is going to go everywhere, since it affects everyone directly.

            And with most of the users living in big gun land or effected by it, that info will spread. The EU doesn’t effect as many people, especially the US, so less people hear about it.

            It’s gotta be about someone, and I’m not going to complain in fifty years when it’s all about China (because I’ll be dead)
