Is someone stopping people from doing so?

I'll try to watch some world news and see if i can find anything meme worthy. America is just so easy to meme, its low hanging fruit really.

The internet IS very US-centric, so this is kinda true, but it's also very easy to abuse and bore people out. I'm Honduran and I know more about US Politics than about my country's own politics. I know more about US politics than I do about every other country. This is not a flex, it's a fucking burden on my mind and mental health.

I kinda liked how Lemmy wasn't too US-centric at first, but I'm feeling similar levels of burnout from Lemmy as I did from Reddit, which was mostly due to how much US shit was posted there just about everywhere.

I know more about US politics than my own country politics and this is pretty blessing imo, it's like so depressing and toxic
