Staying in your lane is important, but I feel like a balance needs to be reached. I understand how frustrating it is to have people who have nothing to do with an issue or country or area talk about it, but sometimes they have a whole new perspective to offer. Something that you never thought of.
I learned this while working ina volunteer group. There was a girl with vastly diff perpectives than mine, and thus she was able to see things I and the others with my background couldn't.
So that's my input on the whole "people living in the GN and benefitting from imperialism shouldn't comment on issues in the GS" discussion. It's aggravating to hear ignorant arguments/input from those who benefit off our exploitation, but it doesn't mean that they don't have the range.
I will admit, however, that most Americans don't have the range to comment on GS issues. And I say Americans specifically because let's face, y'all are the most self-centered people on the planet (which isn't entirely your fault).
You're so focused on your issues, constantly put America in your analysis of other countries and so I can understand why GS leftists blow up on y'all. Also, you're constantly bombarded with imperialist propaganda (knowingly or unknowingly).
