Hey, not for nothing but the US is sick and teetering on the precipice of Facism. If the US goes over the edge, the Fascism will be the main export, as "Freedom" is today. That has worldwide implications.
Right now our domestic politics are everyone's problem.
That is NOT to say there aren't other problems worthy of airtime here. Its been hot recently, have you noticed? Nobody seems to be serious about doing anything substantive about that. Let's talk about it.
There is a devastating war on in Ukraine threatening not only global stability, but also the world's supply of staple grains, rare earths, helium oil and natural gas. With a cloid of nuclear chaos draped over it. Talk about it.
Israel is running roughshod over the Palestinian state. (Irony, no?) Talk about it.
China is flxing its financial and geoplitical muscle in the AIPAC region. Ths is the next world war setting up. Talk about it.
Africa has several bloody wars going on with both Western and Eastern powers shoveling chaos into that mess. A continent of rich nations being fleeced by the East and West. Just like always. Guess what you can do?
Central and South America are dealing with their own power struggles between Hard Right and Hard Left factions, again with undue outside influences from Eastern and Western powers. And, we cant seem to stop destroying rain forests.
Everyone is dealing with serious challenges both foreign and domestic. Post about it.
If you're twisted about the probkems in the.US dominating the Hot page, then post, comment and be to change you need.to see, because of you're just gonna sit on your ass right now and complain about it, then you get what you get.
And also...? Sorry. I am NOT having a good day.
Edits: typos and some grammar
Do you really think anyone outside the US thinks "freedom" is your main export? Lmao
I think the fact that he used scare quotes himself implies that they don't believe the US actually exports freedom either.
