There are tons of things to critisize about plenty of places. I totally get the desire to do so. I’m not talking about any flavor of it in particular. Like idc what your politics are it still applies. I just find it so pointless. Other than cases like Israel where they’re like publically slaughtering thousands of innocents and the entire world is in agreement over it being a problem. (And the US is also pretty responsible for that anyway).

Like the US is a mess. It’s by far the most destructive force on Earth. It bombs, pollutes, economically sanctions, etc to other countries. It treats its own people like shit too. No healthcare, Student debt, etc.

So if you’re in the US why would you ever waste your limited time critisizing like for example, Chinese internet censorship, or Mexico having a crime problem, or any of this other bullshit? When there are so many more pressing issues to be worried about right in your own backyard? We all have limited energy and time. 100% of that should be going towards the things that need fixed in the US itself. Everything else is just a distraction.

    More than one thing can be true. Multiple places can be experiencing sucky timelines.

      Yeah, I never said other countries didn’t have problems. If you read my post I’m very clearly saying that I think people from the US should be focused on their own country. I’d like to fix the problems here. I think it’s pointless to focus so much on other countries when there are so many things to fix in the US. Once the US is not a dumpster fire I’d have no issue with people here talking about other countries problems. It just seems like a massive distraction tactic by the ruling class. Like “Don’t talk about how you don’t have healthcare! Talk about this bad thing a country 3000 miles away is doing!”
