And as we all know, things that happen in America stay in America. There's never any blowback for the rest of the world.
Are we seriously arguing if American politics count as American politics or world politics??
yet hyper-nationalism is a growing worldwide political issue, so you find yourself in a catch 22 once you try and exclude certain events based on geographical boundaries, as this would certainly be playing into the further politicization of nationalism as a measure of cultural identity, when you begin filtering towards or away from a particular group. Thankfully we have algorithms to do most of the work for us these days. Curating has never been easier…
Is this bait? Am I being had here? Is this going in a screenshot?
Just in case you're serious, I'm not the person who complained about politics being present. I'm just baffled that they were getting piled on because people either think or pretend to think that Luigi isn't a political figure from the US.
It is an insane statement to say excluding US events feeds into hyper nationalism. The domestic news cycle of the US has no effect on the lives of most people in the world. This has nothing to do with nationalism, it's just geography. And Americans aren't some oppressed minority that need media exposure. Not to forget that this is a meme about something everyone already heard about, not a news story about a new thing. Being reminded of US politics in random memes simply has no benefit to anyone.
It's fine if you like seeing memes featuring US politics though. You can argue that. You don't have to launder an opinion into an objective fact to do so.
objective facts are hard to come by
thank you for your clarification about your position being an opinion, I guess I could have made my tone more reflective of such a sentiment which had also been the case during my probable misinterpretation of what you were trying to posit about, what I understood to be regarding what could or could not qualify as political/relevant. I think complaints are almost always meant constructively, regardless of whatever the listener/reader may be seeing/hearing from the message they are attempting to glean from a passage, and the general tone of my verbiage in writing is always difficult for me to interpret (when reading/listening on the first way through especially) as well as with speaking/writing, I very often struggle to find a pace or angle of approach to topics when attempting to initiate discussions of many different types throughout my life.
However I do sort of understand what you mean about not enjoying the reddit-style sentiment dogpiling which tends to occur on any one of these anonymous online global digital forum type platforms. most people just can’t help wanting to always feel like they have had (even just some piece of) some kind of last laugh or other form of return on their investment of having stopped in for a read/listen.
I think the term “political” needs to be reexamined in the english language still
