- I think they're finally starting to wake up
- Other than I now consider Americans to be Nazi's, not really. We always used to joke about how they were dumb but now that joke has become a reality
- They're not to be trusted due to the idiocy of the populace.
- I no longer buy American, either only Canadian or European. the word "Sorry" has lost all meaning.
- I really wish Americans would stop replying to threads in various places saying "we're sorry". A fraction of you are sorry.

I'm interested to hear from people around the world on a few subjects. Answer as many questions as you like.
-
What country are you from?
-
In general, what do you think of the USA?
-
Has this viewpoint changed over the last few years?
-
On a global scale, how you think the actions of the USA will play out over the next few years.
-
How has the US actions affected you personally this last year?
-
Anything else you want to add.
What country are you from? USA
In general, what do you think of the USA? The USA is absolutely fucked. Institutionalized racism has always been a thing, but it was subvert. People used to be openly shamed for saying racist, misogynistic, and homophobic stuff. DEI and other initiatives were making headway. Trump gave all the closet racist and misogynistic people permission to be assholes in public. Good journalism is dead, everything is all about engagement rather than truth.
Has this viewpoint changed over the last few years? Yeah it's changed. I always held out hope that if we kept trying we could make real progress and turn things around with respect to education, healthcare, and institutionalized racism.
On a global scale, how you think the actions of the USA will play out over the next few years. I suspect that many other countries will stop doing business with the US. From a technology standpoint, other countries might move away from mac/windows in favor of linux, which is open source and therefore free. Other countries may ban social media like FB, Snapchat, X, ect. The American dollar is about to be bitch slapped. Other countries are dumping US bonds, which will drive down their value when the market is flooded. Lots of trading for oil is done with US currency. This increases the demand for US currency and inflates it. Other countries are getting tired of America's bullshit and switching to the petroyuan, which is form of the official Chinese currency, the yuan intended at least initially for oil trading. One of the reasons the petroyuan was created was that Russia, Venezuela and Iran may be able to avoid the United States' sanctions, so nations such as Saudi Arabia, one of the main oil producers and extractors could avoid dollar hegemony and U.S. pressure. If enough countries switch to the petroyuan it will fuck the economy and the US dollar the way trump rapes little girls.
How has the US actions affected you personally this last year? I deleted all corporately owned social media. I'm afraid to leave my house because I am brown enough and gay enough to be disappeared. No more travel. Only travel to and from work and the grocery store.
Anything else you want to add. Pray for those of us that didn't vote for trump.
Good question. I'm going to pin this.
Canada
The USA was born out of genocide, grew through slavery, and has continued to prosper by economic and military exploitation of every country they can. They are an oligarchy now, and always have been. Their constitution only allowed rich white males to have a say, and that has fundamentally not changed in 250 years.
This viewpoint has only become more clear and undeniable over the last few years.
The destruction of the U.S. empire will accelerate as they stab more of their allies in the back.
I have family and friends in the U.S. that I will never be able to see again.
I have seen the steady rise of fascism in the U.S. since the assassinations of the Kennedys, MLK, Malcolm and all the black nationalist leaders, Nixon's killing students, Reagan and the Bushs arming Contras and Al Queda, the systematic oppression and destruction of labor unions and the middle class, the consolidation of all power into the corporations' hands. We are seeing the mask drop further now, but the dead skull of imperialism has been there for everyone to see, even when the blue faction is in office. They all serve capitalism, and not the people.
and ethnic cleansing, of indigenous americans, then slavery of africans.

"..born out of genocide, grew through slavery" yep.
Canada. I think your country is full of idiots and cowards, at this point. I used to love it there, and now you couldn't pay me to visit. I think the US will continue to be a laughingstock for a long time. A relative had major surgery and we couldn't visit to help, because I am a visible minority. Also, fuck Trump.
The USA right now is basically the coyote when he realises he’s run off the edge of a cliff onto thin air and pulls out a little “help” sign.
usa 2) more or less the general population is more or less apathetic, and still think someone will reverse what happens, or stops trump from getting too far. this has led to ineffective protests, and strikes if they continue a non-confrontational approach much like what tim walz is doing. which both HOUSES have been trying to QUASH to prevent another shutdown. they dont wont more "Mamdanis" of the DNC to appear in elections anymore that could seriously threaten thier exclusive club, hold on the dnc. 3)the ACA subsidies has sorta ended for covid enhancements and people saw Immediately jacked up prices especially preniums for 2026 insurance year and they are supposed to vote on this in the houses again , and the media is distracted from this and epstein files. some peoples premium went for 0-Xthousands.
certain it has waken people up to the fact schumer and jefferies and the rest of the DNC, are just siding with he gop, they have no interest in changing anything, is solely a political move on thier part stay in thier donors good graces.
1: USA
2: very poorly, was looking into moving but I think that ship has sailed, gotta ride it out i guess.
3: only deteriorated further.
4: that very much depends how long this regime has total control, if midterms happen and shift left, things might lighten up. If not... well...
5: poorly. My mental is awful, I don't talk to alot of family anymore, and I worry gor others constantly.
6: I used to think this country was the greatest, most amazing place in the whole world. That idea has shattered. So many of my family have bled for this place, and it was all for what? A pedophile cabal, trying to rule the world? Wtf kind of sick joke is this. I worry for the rest of the world, USA is out if control.

Belgium
Big country, dif. kind of people
Cant be trusted anymore
First civil war ,then war with China.
Lost my contacts in the states
Stay safe ,take care of your family and dump trump
I predict that the military will be deployed on streets in many states to intimidate voters and manipulate the midterm elections this November 2026. I wonder if many Democrats who will actually vote against and stand up to Trump will get elected... Other than that, I haven't a clue what'll happen going forward, but I'd bet on less versus more resistance, unfortunately.
I find it very eerie that so few people I know irl, in Toronto, are talking about what's going on south of the border. For most, it seems business as usual.
The pro-fascist capture of news and social media, so many people only accessing the news through social media nowadays, and the dumbing down of online literacy and critical thinking through 'genAI' (eg, search summaries, chatbots) really helps Trump and every fascist shitbag like him commit their evil.
To be honest, I'm having a hard time coping with the state of the US and rest of the world (eg, Ukraine, Palestine, Venezuela, erosion of online privacy) and most people's business as usual approach
Canada.
I wish we could flush the giant turd below us.
I know many left wingers who are getting their firearms licences.

I'm getting my PAL in the next month or so. Then I'm buying a gun that shoots long range, a good scope, and a bunch of ammo. The only thing I need to find is a place to practice.
- Australia

- Stopped me buying a few things, stressed me a bit
- Nah
They have a nazi problems but people are doing what they have to do when they have this kind of problem.
which is non-confrontation, its akin to how companies are treating shoplifters now, non-confrontational, you cant even use "aggressive customer service" anymore.
Really? Have not seen a guillotine yet.
People have the right to decide how they engage in their demonstration.
Canada

Nope; it got more secure
4: Its locked in at this point; a superpower decline until its going to be irrellevant; just like all former superpower of the past.
Boycott; distancing; diversification. Active on my part.
