Is this website only for American politics of for worldwide politics?

Question

New to this Page. I would like to know Is it discuss only American Politics or whole over the world Politics?

I would like to ask the following question:

Why Politicians pretend Honest but not? Why Powerful Countries interfere or other countries matters? Why they depend on parasitically?

Sri Lanka - Rajapaksha regime governed this country more than 20 years. They came into power promising people that they are going to developed this country like Singapore. But today they bring down the standards according to the world ranking middle class to poor. People pleading international community forums like UN/IMF/World Bank/ European Community to support people and ask for the election allowing people to choose the new government. Instead they are supporting this robbers and try to loot our resources by taking the advantage of the current situation. Where is so called star Democracy?

Answer 1

Yes, Politics Stack Exchange handles questions about politics and political processes pertaining to any country on the globe (and occasionally even about space).

However, your example question would probably not fare too well on this site. The reason is that politics stack exchange is not a website for political activism. It's for people who want to learn and teach about politics. It's not for people who want to convince people of their opinions. So:

1. Avoid rhetorical questions (like "Where is so called star Democracy?"). Write answerable questions instead.
2. Avoid loaded questions (like "Why they depend on parasitically?"). A loaded question is a question where the phrasing of the question already implies that someone did something bad. If you want to understand the behavior of a state actor, describe the behavior in a neutral tone.
3. Avoid insulting people you politically disagree with (like "this robbers"). Call them by their name or function or use some neutral term.
4. Avoid saying that someone is evil without proper explanation (like "try to loot our resources"). Explain what exactly you are asking about, so it can be understood by people who are not as familiar with the situation. Links for further information can be helpful. And do so in a neutral tone.
5. If you just post to complain about some political injustice or grievance, don't! Politics Stack Exchange is not the platform for this.

Answer 2

You see, this site isn't about politics at all.

This statement can be interpreted on at least two levels.

First, one needs to differentiate media and policy. All serious discussion about decision making happening among politicians, not in media, it is very difficult in general to hold a descriptive discussion about politics for anyone but insiders. That still not mentioning the problem that even insidres hardly ever know the whole picture because of the overall cultural degradation. No means for that.

Still, in some cases this site can circumvent this limitation, I believe.

But there is a higher limitation that cannot be circumvented here. This site copies the style of StackOverflow, a programming site. However, in programming, there is a different standard of answerability that doesn't suit a social science. It isn't related to knowing something, but it is related to doing something, and for programming that standard is just fine because programming is a practical thing (the site on "work place" or travel or electronics also looks fine, which I think is no coincidence). Still, the format requires the locals to adopt that unhappy standard and kill here anything of value.

Of course, anything of value would have been killed just as well by the power of chaos, so conspicuous on the Internet. Rationality requires maintaining the idea of Good, that is to say a philosophical discipline on the part of free minds. But that is a different story.
