This is another example of US centrism. This is [email protected]. From the name there is no indication that this wouldn’t be about world politics. Please rename the community or change the subject to world politics and create a community like [email protected].

I agree. The name is really US-centrist. Not giving good vibes.

Bitch, other countries use english too. No country should have dibs on general words to represent something that conserns, in this case, only one country.

I have noticed the same thing about US government websites end in .gov I think no government should have that privledge. Other governments use english too. Could US officials take their head out of their asses and use an ending like .usgov

Or .gov.us, like every other country uses their tld, like .gov.uk. Only the US is conceited enough to not use their own tld.

It looks like you do get first dibs on shizzle you invent. The UK is the only country that does not put the name of the country on their postage stamps, because when they started using them there was no other issuer.
