The following is mostly a reply I gave in someone else's thread. I wanted to share it without risking the other threadfolk getting backlash.

Concerning whether or not US-Americans know and/or care that yesterday could easily have been the start of WWIII/a global nuclear event:

A lot of us care and are aware. Enough that we were checking the news every few mins yesterday & dreading the approach of 8pm EST.

Please don't paint all US-Americans with the same brush of dismissive judgment....

@courtcan Is this ”not all men” but for the US?

I understand it’s frustrating. It’s frustrating from the outside too, waiting to be the next target of your president.

It’s hard to know how to formulate any short social media post taking all of that context into consideration.

I wish you all the best and that you have the strength to keep going.

That's kind of why I'm not apologizing, because you know shit's fucked here, we're all struggling, and nobody outside of a few lunatics support this thing. You don't need to be told there are good people here, or even that most of us are good, just the oppressors make sure they have solidarity and we don't. I don't have to say I'm not a fucking fascist, because it's obvious, or it should be.

You and me both could get hit by a bomb, we both want to live in a good world, and USAers are held in the same if not more contempt by their elitist shitheads than people of foreign countries. We're all in this together. Except the elitist shitheads.
