I think this is a case of your echo chamber biasing you, and maybe even my echo chamber biasing me - as much as I take great efforts to get out of any echo chambers I could be a part of, even if doing so gets me slapped with removals and bans.
People simply aren’t chanting Death to America in the streets around the world 24/7. They’re mostly just going about their lives.
Ah okay, your last comment read like commiseration.
Yeah it’s a shame EVs aren’t more popular in many countries, the US included. There are pros and cons to them, but I feel like the pros outweigh the cons.
As a contemporary example of massive suffering, the wars in Palestine and Iran are directly correlated to the US wanting to defend the petrodollar and its interests in the Middle East more broadly, especially its oil. If the US can’t buy oil from the area, or if OPEC slipped on its grasp on power, our infrastructure would crumble. It’s wobbling enough as it is.
You’d think The Powers That Be of the US would realize that dependency on foreign oil is more of a national security risk than letting Gaza exist, but chances are they’re simply in bed with oil oligarchs and don’t actually care about whether or not the US implodes as long as they have the money to escape the consequences.
They think they’re untouchable, unstoppable, and inevitable. Fortunately for the rest of us, looks like due to the increased interconnectedness of the globe, America is losing power much more rapidly than great Britain did.
Since trump 2?
Yep, lol.

As someone who doesn’t live in the US, nah man, we talk about how your country is fucking up the world again, lol.
We all know why gas has doubled in price. We saw what you did to that elementary school.
Oh I’m well aware of that (especially in the last two years), but that’s a different goal-post.
Agreed, and I hate it too. Well, the latter. I’m not big on gas cars so that bit doesn’t affect me as much.
Unfortunately we have very poor electric infrastructure here but it gets better every year 🤷
Wait, you’re from the US too? Why are you not blaming yourself for what “we” did to the elementary school?
Because I’m not from there?
