    If you want people to act

    That’s not my job. I’m not American and I didn’t get agency in the decision. However, their policies and governance affects all of us, sometimes without our consent, so we have a right to be concerned.

    Preservation of life and liberty is worth the sacrifice. As for the rest, that takes hard, collective work, which means working together responsibly to achieve that and if they can’t, that’s on them. That’s not something a foreigner can build or show a rally point around.

    Excuses for everything ay? Sorry, reasons.

    I’ve seen US people in here discuss this and give instructions on how to join in so they’re around. Wrote to any influential and friendly politicians and people on it.

    But it’s not mine or ours outside to fix. We or I shouldn’t be having to tell you how. This is what we’d do if it was us.

      Frankly, I doubt it. Half the world seems to be sliding towards authoritarianism with the other half already there. America is leading the charge, sure, but nobody else seems eager to dive on their own grenade to fix it, either.
