    It’s honestly not that bad outside the US. (For the developed world and even many places of emerging economies)

    Yeah there’s certainly more shit going on than usual, but it’s not exactly anything strange in consideration to the past 100 years.

    I think it helps waking up feeling “meh” and then seeing a news feed from the US and immediately appreciating life. If it weren’t for that, I’m sure we’d all be collectively complaining a lot harder rather than seeing it as just another cycle of “rough times”. It helps that most other nations work together. There’s division, but nothing like in the US.

      Ive been trying really hard to get out. It is expensive and my family wont play ball (we could get citizenship from past relations, but it is time sensitive), so i probably have to do it the long way.

      I’m glad the US shitstorm could make some people feel better. That’s the silver lining. (Not /s)

        Eh, it’s in our tribalistic nature to be positively voyeuristic to the drama of other tribes. Developed nations are notably the best at it. Heaven forbid anyone step in and help.

        I do my part by leaving obscure messages on obscure ocial medi platforms. Banking up my thoughts and prayers for ,“the big one”.
