@pockets my reason to vote politics is: even for the most populated countries, more than 80% of the world does not live in your country.
In particular, one of the most populated countries has the tendency of never qualifying their assertions, so most of the time the rest of the 95%+ of the world must qualify them by adding "[this shit is going good or bad] in the US".

@mdione In my experience with the wide world of people I interact with, it's mostly US-based folks who act like the US is the center of the world and assume everybody else lives there until proven otherwise. If someone doesn't specify where they are in the world and are making regular posts about "the state of the world", good odds they're in the US. I suppose I shouldn't complain too loudly though, as I'm (regretfully) living in their midst.
