I'm not American either, but I see a war going on between authoritarian states and democratic ones, and Trump supporting the wrong side.
It deeply concerns me from a human rights perspective and also on a personal security level because I live near Taiwan.
I've also felt the impact of disinformation and conspiration theories spreading from the US to my country and I fear it's only going to get worse.

- ignoramous 2y ago> deeply concerns me from a human rights perspective What should concern you is your singular belief in propaganda that powerful entities care about human rights over their own interests.
- ramchip 2y agoI don't find this kind of cynicism accurate or particularly helpful as a life philosophy. I've personally had the luck to meet people and be a member of organizations that do care and have power to make some difference.
- ignoramous 2y ago> I don't find this kind of cynicism accurate or particularly helpful For me, living amidst riots and have friends/family caught up in war zones has swiftly altered my views. There's goodness no doubt, but the powers that be, once they breach, won't be mucking about.
