Please, what is the logic in this? Why on earth would anyone wait for the US to improve before demanding the same of others?
- aaomidi 5y agoBecause the US is the dominant cultural machine in the world. And, that the American audience of HN should point this anger towards America so we can finally fix this.
- qeternity 5y agoI don't disagree. But you didn't answer my question. Why wait for America to change before demanding better of everyone? We're all global citizens now. Act like it.
- aaomidi 5y agoBecause it doesn't work. I've lived in Iran. There is a heavy amount of "were as good as your beloved America" or "were not a bad as them". Also, people would care more if these things were reflected in our cultural exports of movies, internet, etc etc. So yes. You're right. We are global citizens. However some of us have a lot more power than others. Right now that's America and we need to use our power to send the right message to the world.
