I guess I don't understand where this frustration comes from because to me, it's just obvious. We're speaking English, on a primarily English-speaking website, and one of the largest English-speaking countries in the world is the US. It just makes sense probability wise that there would be more posts about the US on average. Personally I'd love to see news (especially uplifting, because life is BLEAK, and I'd like to have hope again) from other countries, but I don't speak other languages, so I only see what people translate and post tbh.

Anyway, I'm not saying you can't vent, or that saying "fuck the us" is wrong, I just wish people would keep it on topic, instead of looking for the thinnest reason to throw in some shade. It really reminds me of the cheap "gotcha" karma farming comments that infest reddit and make the site so unenjoyable to browse.
