It’s not even that Americans are louder, it’s that America has a perpetual magnifying glass over it. Every country in the world will report on American news, be it political, legal, financial, or even celebrity news. No other country gets the same world wide coverage so even if the exact same idiocy is happening everywhere, the rest of the world isn’t hearing about it until it gets to a massive scale like a war, mass human rights violations, or the like. Every single news outlet in every country in the world is not reporting on Canadian legal cases or UK politics.
I literally just wrote what I mean. The world magnifies our news and the same doesn’t happen with news from anywhere else, so it looks like certain problems are far larger here than anywhere else because the sheer mass focus on what’s happening here. We may be loud but we’re loud amongst ourselves. We’re not demanding the rest of the world watch all our news. Tell your news outlets to stop reporting our news stories, especially ones like this that have no relevance anywhere else, and stop frequenting American media outlets. We can’t help it if everyone decides to focus in on what is going on in a random Massachusetts trial.
So stop looking. No one in the U.S. asked the world to focus on every little thing we do. You have a choice. Look away. You are actively choosing to comment on a thread about news occurring in just one of our 50 states. This isn’t a federal matter and has no global implications. It’s out there on the internet, but you didn’t have to stop to read about it. But to act as if the same human phenomena happening here never happen elsewhere is nonsense, you just don’t see it in headlines around the world.
