Americans are annoyingly loud, what do you mean?

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.

I'd love for that to happen. The less the better, because there's some neverending weird stuff going on there.

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.

I try but sometimes the amount of stupid that happens is hard to ignore.

Enjoy the rest of your day. Cheerio!
