As an American ….. ok, now that I annoyed you back, maybe a push for better categorization or labeling would be more useful. Looks like it’s in a “Video” community and it’s a video.

Clearly Web v3 is more annoying because it Durant even have good intentions

Being an American isn't a problem at all. I love Americans. Just those who doesn't put politics first and go out of their way to flood people around them with their opinions on who the temporary employee in the White House is, who it should have been and why the employee is everything that is wrong with the current situation.

I bet most Americans just go on with their day and try to make the best of everything, you know, like the rest of the world, not being obsessed by some individual.

If you care at all about the quality of your life, then you need to be interested in politics. It isn't as simple as you put it, at least not anymore.

The country of the U.S. is in a state of crisis of which I don't think we've seen in over 150 years. Sorry if it bothers you to hear about, but this stuff is important.

Personally, I try to learn as much about other countries' politics and history to find out how the world got to where we are. If these videos or posts about the U.S. politics bother you, I would recommend just skipping over them and avoid the potential negative emotional reaction you displayed earlier.

Interesting that you say these things now, when earlier in this thread you told me to fuck myself and get a hobby, called me a bitch and a Karen, and said that I "spread like a virus", all because I posted a single politically-motivated link in my 2 months on this platform. Where was your poignant insight on the duality of man then?
