Oddbean new post about login | logout Do people outside of the USA actually care about our election outcome? And why?
When the FED raises rates, my mortgage goes up on the other side of the pond within a few days, because the BoE works in lockstep with them. When the scholar was killed in 2020, people were rioting here too. America exports it's culture to the rest of the world. Whether we like it or not, these elections affect most of the western world. Personally, I want things to get worse so that more people can understand what is happening. Can't start a new cycle until the current one bottoms out, and we're not there yet.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about with "When the scholar was killed in 2020, people were rioting here too" Who’s the scholar? & What culture do we export?
George Floyd, was meant to be tounge in cheek. That is the sort of culture exported to the rest of the world. Someone is killed in the US, and people in the UK start rioting and tearing down statues. US entertainment dominates the world, too. Movies, music... And now people are learning how subversive and degenerate most of this has been. It wasn't always that way, but the subtle messaging has become more and more sinister over the years. They pushed celebrity worship and turned it into an entire culture, making it easier to control populations and their opinions. Worst of all has been the export of outright terrorism under the guise of 'Democracy'. Y'all have the guns and have not yet been stripped of your rights. You need to hold those who facilitate this accountable.
To clarify, when I refer to the US, I'm always talking about the state. The people all around the world are victims of a state.
We had Saint Floyd protests here in Melbourne too on the other side of the planet - longest lockdowns in the world but they let the ferals march in solidarity for that one and said Covid was no risk, but then had 6 lockdowns over 260 days.. My favourite was when the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade and the feminists protested here too: https://youtu.be/csemM1IWfFk Crazy how the American narrative impacts people everywhere and the ones loudest about it are actually the least impacted.
I live near Chicago & didn’t know of any Floyd rally’s or n e thing… so m still not sure what all the media hype was about with that… I did not mask/get jabbed/stay inside during covid… The abortion stuff I get but doesn’t really matter here in my state as those rights are guaranteed in our state constitution.
19th should be repealed. Too emotional, poorly informed.
Some wag joked recently "that we gave women the vote only to find out that their number one priority was the right to kill their own children. We should consider this a failed social experiment." Guy kinda has a point... 🤔
It's not their fault, it's the state and their propaganda that has provided them with their opinions. It's supporting eugenics under the guise of freedom of choice. No one wants to take responsibility for themselves.
No, America gonna keep killing folks in the Middle East either way.
United States of America run the world. If any country denies American anything its war.

Yes. Because the MIC is destroying other peoples' lives. So, it is of direct and great interest to people. This should not be the case.
No. Never have. Never will. ZERO hope in ANY politician. Politics are not the remedy. They are a large part of the problem
The Japanese do. Mostly because they're next door to China and have protection guarantees from us. So a return to American nationalism could mean that we leave them to be exploited by their big scary neighbor.
Yeah, it's front-page news, in Germany. Determines our lives, more than our own elections.
You mean the war and dollar machine that puts its own and Israel’s interests first?
