Sigh. Pot call the kettle black. This isn't reddit, nor is it a community specifically about US news, and it's also hosted on lemmy.world, y'know, so it still doesn't justify defaultism even if you tell that to yourself all day and night.
Try as you may, it still doesn't erase the fact that not everyone commenting on a US post must absolutely be american, especially since these matters indirectly affect way more than the US by itself (and before you jump to conclusions, no, not by my choice or vote, yet I have to face reality others voted for as it is). That's just hubris, and you'll have to find a way to accept that while you can disagree with someone, you can't take their voice away from them. Just like you're well allowed to come here and whine about any particular sentence that you dislike, ignoring all context, just like you're completely free to make up any justification to tell yourself you're right.
Also doesn't erase the fact that by your own logic you're as cringe as me and all the people triggered for no reason and twisting my words or using my comment condemning the lack of due process in the article to derail the topic due to their own personal coping issues and lack of reading comprehension.
Cheers, and despite all I do hope you can sort out that frustration and contrarian attitude that got you riled up enough to actually come here and criticize others for doing exactly what you're doing. Feel free to cringe-rant and double down on "making a big deal" out of what I said if your pride demands it, but know it'll be in an echo chamber.
