I’m saddened by the fact that I understand what this is about.
I’m not American. I have no reason to know the context of this. I should not know about this idiocy. My attention has been hijacked. Every time I learn about something as stupid as this, I feel like I’m wasting precious resources. There are more important things closer to me that I should be worrying about.
How I wish I could block out all this and enjoy a nice surf on the web without having my awareness polluted.
It’s so depressing. I mean, it can be nice to see there’s a place where stupid people have stupid problems, to give my problems some perspective, but it’s impossible now to open the web without non-stop American stupidity confrontation. It’s nice to go to a theme park, it’s hell to live there. I wish there was an American-free platform. Even Lemmy, which is mostly hosted in Europe, is completely taken over by Murica slop. No wonder those Americans are so self centered, when the entire world has to live in their drama.
That’s true, there need to be people fighting back. But there is a difference in fighting back and being prosecuted for who you are. Being able to fight is a luxury. Know there are programs to help expats in European countries. To find a job, housing, hobbies, meet people, get life started, even tax cuts to make it more attractive. Your gender isn’t illegal to put on a Dutch passport, for example.
I feel you bro. I live in the SF bay area so I fortunately live in a bubble of mostly reasonable people, but I’ve driven through some dark places in other states.
There should be an anti-Trump/anti-USian one there. Sorry, my phone was misbehaving, it wouldn’t let me peruse further. But it has a lot of other very useful embed blockers there too.

We don’t like it either. I’ve been trying to drag my neighbors into normalcy for ten fucking years.
It’s best to jump a sinking ship mate. Gtfo
I can’t. I’m too poor, my gender is illegal to put on an American passport, and Canada/Mexico aren’t interested in taking asylees or refugees.
Besides, if everyone leaves, no one will be here to fight back.
I don’t have the luxury of fleeing.

Imagine actually living here
As an American, sometimes it really is as awful as you think it is… I’m so ashamed of my fellow citizens for allowing this shit… It’s so disgusting

Fuck, I know, it’s like a drug, all the stupid American shit. It’s takes over brain space.
I mean, the diaper thing has been joked about for nearly 10 years at this point.
There is a uBlock filter for you, and one for Chrome-based browsers.
It’s just a site with a bunch of filters, did you mean a specific one?
