I love steve, his comedy is on point and he is very well spoken and intelligent. I'm not sure why people got their jimmies rustled over this post but I just wanted to say that I appreciate you OP.
correct.
Love Steve. Dude is always on point.
I don't care about a political analysis from a fucking comedian.
- Did the facts hurt your feelings?
  
  I'm a German leftist. However anyone who thinks a comedian posting YouTube shorts is a reasonable source for political insight is a moron.
- Isn't this a textbook example of an argumentum ad hominem?
I wonder if someone posted a video called, "Democrats are Dangerous". Will it get up voted like this video? Just thinking out loud.

EDIT I'm a Centrist btw.
- That's a great idea! You should make that post and provide supporting data with your claim!
  
  You're a centrist afterall.
  
  provide supporting data with your claim
  
  So like OP did. Got it.
- Lmfao. Bootlicking lemmy.world motherfuckers I swear.
- Yes, which would be hate speech and further proof that Republicans are dangerous
  
  I can't tell you're a troll or not. So good job.
- I have read so many places that American centrist Arent really a thing, because of the two party system. You are either with, or against.. which is a child s view of things.
  
  I say good for you.
  
  Every American ‘centrist’ I’ve seen plays constant defence for the far right. Idk maybe it’s just a coincidence but I’m not the only one who’s noticed it
  
  Will, they're wrong. You're right about "You are either with, or against" thing.
I am not sure which is worse. Web v3 or Americans fucking everywhere on the internet making everywhere and everything a discussion about American politics, taking over every fucking forum on the internet. Especially international ones, where you will find posts like, "as an American..."

Shut the fuck up. The rest of the world does not care about your shitty internal politics. Stop being so fucking annoying.
- Sorry that we exist.
  
  If youre not one of those people, I am glad you exist. Its just all the crappy ones thats taken over the discussion forums on the web.
  
  But seeing as youre the one that made the post, fuck you, get a better hobby.
  
  Stop spreading like a virus everywhere posting your shit everywhere because youre disgruntled with your own countries politics.
  
  Imagine if everyone did that. You think each country doesn't have problems of their own? Sure we do. We just know not to annoy everybody on the fucking planet about it. Its like you think you own the fucking planet. You Americans are so fucking Karen about it. You just gotta get heard by everyone .Jesus fucking christ, stop being such removed.
- Absolutely not. As a european, I find it extremely interesting to look for the parallels and differences between our societies and how problems are handled. We can all learn from each other.
  
  The problem is, that we fail to produce an equal amount of output because we don't have a common language and still see ourselves as our national identities rather than Europeans. If we widened our view and noticed more of what's happening in other countries, we could be absolutely on par with the content Americans make and it would take us all a step closer to become actual world citizens.
  
  Thats not how tribalism works. Thats not how anything works. Us Europeans do speak English, amongst a couple of more, or three other languages, so your language barrier point is mute. You cant take the animal out of the human and go, ah tribalism is a social construct. Good luck with that. I am multicultural myself, but even so, having an identity is important for just about everybody. And by the state of things, who in their right mind would want to be on par with the content America makes?
- Someone's jealous!
- Tf you have against web3 lol
- As an American ….. ok, now that I annoyed you back, maybe a push for better categorization or labeling would be more useful. Looks like it’s in a “Video” community and it’s a video.
  
  Clearly Web v3 is more annoying because it Durant even have good intentions
  
  Being an American isn't a problem at all. I love Americans. Just those who doesn't put politics first and go out of their way to flood people around them with their opinions on who the temporary employee in the White House is, who it should have been and why the employee is everything that is wrong with the current situation.
  
  I bet most Americans just go on with their day and try to make the best of everything, you know, like the rest of the world, not being obsessed by some individual.
