Included American pop culture character to draw attention of Americans.
I would, but this post is about America, so I can't make it about anything else.

Should the rest of the world have ignored Germany in the '30s?
Imagine if IBM and Ford and Chase National Bank had pretended like Germany didn't exist, rather than flooding the country with cheap capital and credit.

A real picture of colonialism, when the seven largest English-speaking populations after the United States are drowning in US debt and surrounded by US military bases.

You know you can start your own lemmy instance for EU centric topics right.

You can say the same thing about every region of the world. Why does Europe just ignore African and South American news?

Do those places present a threat to civil rights and democracy?

It didn't go so well when they did.
That's the point they're making

It's relevant, yes, but not the center of every single topic or event they is happening or exists anywhere.
Go online however and you'd think it were.
The bigger problem is their assumption that their country is the "default" country. Discussing something highly specific to your nation, or posting a news article covering a topic that is only relevant within your nation? You need to provide the context of what country you're talking about, otherwise people might be confused or waste their time reading something irrelevant to them. Over and over.
... unless it's about the USA of course, then you don't need to give any context at all because of course the only people they use the Internet are Americans, and obviously the only country worth talking about is the
US of A! This is highly encouraged in places like Reddit, where communities like /r/news or /r/politics are actually local national subreddits just for the USA, but because they're special little darlings they use the format that should be reserved for all news and political discussion, rather than a more appropriate and descriptive title like /r/usanews or /r/usapolitics, which would actually be... you know... descriptive and helpful.
That's not even mentioning the number of times some random person has used code/abbreviation to describe where they are to lend context to a conversation, but failed to take into account that people outside of your country don't know your local regional internal place names.
Oh, you're from ML? OH? TA? Great, that provides precisely zero information because those aren't country name abbreviations. Oh, you're from London which is all the context you think I need? Okay, I know Lo...oh, London.... Texas?
️So many wonderful people in the USA, so many fantastic people who don't have any of the traits I've described, I just wish the ones strutting around acting like they're the only country in the world and on the internet would open their eyes to how that sort of toxic personality trait looks to, and affects others
I mean, isn't this why everything you see is America dominated? Almost every major platform used by typical English speaking westerners is going to be owned and made in America and hence America focused. Combine this with the gargantuan influence America exerts on the world, I don't think it's hard to see why you see so much American centered things. I get this is a shit post but I always see comments like this bemoaning american over representation.

Americans are inherently suppremacists. They only care about foreigners as long as it's politically convenient for them.
Just check all the idiots being mad at genocide protest voters.
If I have to chose between genocide in America and fascism here, well, let's just say I will take the rational choice too

I'm a supremacist? I go out of my way not to generalize the entire population of countries I don't particuraly like because I know there are good people in every country on Earth. So either you believe all Americans are shit or you're just a fucking idiot. I'm curious which it is.

claims a generalization about people from a specific country is supremacist and racist
