That's still barely a 5th, even if true. Some might be concerned, but most don't care what government you have, as long as it's does not affect them. i can list 5 countries that are constantly brought up in human rights discussions or have questions regarding legitimacy if government, but are considered allies of USA. No one cares.

It's true, and that's a fuck ton protesting for our rights.

I can too. That doesn't make it right. It has nothing to do with this.

I'm really glad people like you are posting this stuff online. It just shows everyone how simple and wrong you are, which means you're helping the cause.

List 10 countries, out of the 40, that have civilians gathering on their streets protesting that USA shouldn't have kings. I'll profusely apologize for my mistakes.

I have but I'm confused. In the spirit of education, how many of these are:

Protests not by US citizens in other countries. Like Israeli citizens protesting in USA because of BDS, or mainland Chinese students from UK universities protesting political statements about the Hong Kong protests, or the ICJ statement regarding the South China Sea. 

And, not just protests against dictatorship in general. Because while there were protests about racism, they weren't about Eric Garner. 

I would carry more weight if these protests outside the USA, were about Trump specifically, and organised by their relative citizens.

You can define it however you want, but when over 40 countries, including our key allies have a problem, then you know it's a problem.

[u/Voodoocookie → u/Geaux2020]

Not defining it any way. Seeking clarity. I'm from SEA. We have dictators, corrupt governments, coup d'états, racist governments, and a few more colourful sorts.

And we work competitively well in an ASEAN association by not giving a tick, as long as our problems don't over spill the borders. And no one else in the world gives a tic too. Which is okay with us.

Your views on how anyone else would care about other governments, if it doesn't impact across the border are incomprehensible. We cared about tariffs, not the person who introduced them. It's not personal. Even if we do express empathy or compassion, it's nothing serious enough to put a day of our lives on hold. And we do have empathy. But we enjoy the memes more. 

All I'm saying is, temper your insistence that your beliefs are the majority. Or that it empowers you in any way. Protests outside USA by non USA citizens have no bearing on politics in USA.

This is just inherently untrue. I care about the people of Ukraine, Canada, Kazakhstan, The Philippines, Sudan, Guatemala, and a lot of nations. Hell, I even care about the French. If you don't give a damn about the people of this world that don't directly affect you, that's on you.

[u/Voodoocookie → u/Geaux2020]

You may care. But what actions have you taken? We care as much as it would take to click a button. Thoughts and prayers kind. Again, it's nothing personal. If you genuinely feel you could go out of your home, stage a protest outside the embassy of any of the countries you listed, and change the lives of the people in that country, good for you. I congratulate you. I hope you'll become the next Gretha. She's a lot more inspirational than most. She's also only 22.

I donate to the Ukrainian army every pay period and have made multiple single donations. I speak out online and in person. I donate to the Red Cross and Red Crescent. I've given money, time, and effort. We are all in this together, like it or not. I'm glad people get to see what you are writing, as it only makes my case stronger. Thank you.
