“Redditors can’t resist repeating the same joke on a thread of hundreds of comments over and over again” - https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1k484c0/pope_francis_has_died_the_vatican_camerlengo/mo82yqt/

  1. Because many people replaced religion with politics and are obsessed with it now. “Oh look at those kittens.” “I heard insert politician owned kittens once, fuck those kittens!!” https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1k484c0/pope_francis_has_died_the_vatican_camerlengo/mo84y0b/

  2. It’s honestly comical. I get that reddit is mostly American but does this ever get tiring - https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1k484c0/pope_francis_has_died_the_vatican_camerlengo/mo850wl/

  3. It’s a problem all over Reddit, no matter what the subject is people are constantly in a rush to make jokes…very unfunny ones at that… - https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1k484c0/pope_francis_has_died_the_vatican_camerlengo/mo85baq/

  4. Ikr instead of focusing on this man’s accomplishments they find a way to make this about American politics - https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1k484c0/pope_francis_has_died_the_vatican_camerlengo/mo85oz3/

    Just in response to that comment saying “this is WORLD news, not everything is about America.”

    Have you seen that picture of the ex South Korean president wearing a ‘Make Korea Great Again’ hat? Did you see the ‘Make Europe Great Again’ clowns that were in the news a couple of months ago? Did the see the headlines about the USA dictating to the UK about hate speech policies? Did you hear about what the UK supreme court recently ruled, conveniently a couple of months into the Trump administration and in the middle of them making demands? Have you ever heard of this American platform called ‘Twitter / X’ that has been getting blamed for the rise of misinformation and right wing figures across the world? Facebook perhaps? How about the USA wanting to annex Canada and Greenland? Heard about that?

    Like it or not, American news IS world news. And now more than ever would be the dumbest time to stick your head in the ground and stop paying attention to what’s going on over there.
