    I’m not American, but you make some very good points. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to that other person

      hey, how is your part of the world? I’m trying to maintain hope that the rest of the world is going to be okay [under the approximation that America will soon be doing very poorly]

        We’re doing alright. Like so many places, we’re struggling to keep terrified conservatives from throwing away the last hundred years of social and material progress.

        But we’re predominantly more left leaning than the US, so it’s not so so bad. I wish we were more to the left leaning, but I suppose I should be thankful for what we have.

        In my local circle, I’m seeing much more direct action and mutual aid, which gives me some hope for the future. We all know things are going to get worse, but there’s no reason we have to go the everyone-for-themselves route.
