As someone not from the US this is despairing to me. I want to focus on the issues in my own country, not a foreign country's.
What can I even do without giving up the Internet (much of it is UScentric)? I can only know to touch grass and hope my mind can realise when some US-only drama online isn't relevant to me.
You can’t really unless you check out completely. America isn’t a country like yours or any other. America is the global empire with hegemony everywhere. This includes not just unparalleled military might but cultural artifacts and technology and of course the dollar too. Most groups of people are more than willing to assimilate to this and you see it with imitations of hip hop, basketball preferences, fast food chains, and the imbalance in expats from the USA and every other country. There’s thousands of examples like this.
This is why you see incoherent things like Swedish youth marching for BLM.
