If you heard as much about Korea, Singapore, Australia, Slovakia, or anywhere else then you'd say the same about them too. Not diminishing the problems in the US but the rest of the world is nuts too.
Well, as someone who doesn't live in the US, I don't see such high concentrations of utter nonsense from anywhere else.
Canada is racing to catch up.
It is amazing how every country can see the decline of America. And then politicians pop up in other countries imitating what American politicians have done for years.
They advocate for privatizing healthcare, deregulating businesses, and other American policies which we already know the result of. Using the exact same arguments as the American politicians. People still fall for it and vote in those populists. Of course no left wing politician ever mentions that the populist talking points are the exact same as we have heard from America.
I don't live in the USA either but I'm here on lemmy where most news is American and all the social media is the same. Korea as one of.my examples has had a strimg of absolutely horrendous rape and abuse scandals which would rival epstine but they're pretty much unknown in western media and discourse. Australian politics likewise is a total dumpster fire that barely registers beside American and European news, some people vaguely know about the guy that got firebombed for reporting on corruption because he was a YouTuber but there's endless insanity going on which barely gets a mention in ozzy news let alone international news, and even if it did no one would read it or talk about it like we do with American news.
That's different though. Dumb shit happens everywhere, but the US is one of the few places where that dumb shit is legal and systemic.
I really think if you learned more about the world you'd be incredibly shocked at how crazy it is
What the fuck is wrong with humans?
