Always, US is just the most popular. If you want to post other stuff feel free.

It's popular cos this place is filled mostly with Americans, as the responses to me here also clearly show. You're never going to get a global perspective here, just an American one. Reddit is already a heavily western-dominated space, other than the national subs, and this sub is even more so.

Your characterization of what I posted is itself telling.

And there were no flaws pointed out, only repeated affirmations of American might over and over. Every single point they made was based on 'America is so strong it can do anything' thinking. All of them have been addressed, and the only response to that was that 'America is so strong that it'll do it anyway'. Literally supremacism, which is not an attitude non-Americans would have. Especially not now, with American might failing again, with Iran. I even responded to the ones whose reactions weren't based on jingoism. But for others the jingoism was rife.

Lastly, the absolute and utter dominance of American politics in this space, including even the minutiae of its domestic politics, backs up my claim. If this place was global, it would have a MUCH MUCH MUCH more varied, and contested, discourse.

This is the kind of posts that're typical of the vast majority of posts here - https://www.reddit.com/r/moderatepolitics/comments/1tttmve/fake_homeless_encampment_sparks_controversy_in_la/ That is domestic politics, down to the very mayoral level. To imagine the rest of the world is fascinated by US mayoral politics is absurd. Near everything in this sub caters to American interests.

So everything both in this post, and outside it, is very clearly pointing to the same conclusion - this is an American dominated space.
