I find it quite difficult to block only US politics due to how it’s the “default” so people rarely specify it’s the US. It also just tends to be constant work as new scandals and stuff pop up.

If anyone has some good filters please let me know.

Ya that's called usdefaultism.

That's why I no longer specify which unit of measurement I am talking about anymore. It's funny to watch Americans tell me I'm wrong.

"Ya that costs like 30 bucks" and they come screaming about how I'm getting scammed because it's only $20. Meanwhile I'm talking about CAD, not USD.

Or when I'm talking about temperature, cities, etc.
