« But, Nick, you’re not a US Citizen, this election doesn’t affect you ».
Do you know how shit the internet has become since Trump was elected the first time? Do you know how fast and far the quality of online interactions has dropped since that orange fascist opened the gates to let all the trolls from under the bridge?
Anyone who makes content that has even 2% of political notions (and FOSS is definitely political) will be confronted to more brainwashed maniacs and bigots.
@thelinuxEXP The US has toppled my home country’s government at least once. It’s also done massive economic damage to my partner’s country in recent years. It’s been at war with *some other country* almost continuously for over a century.
It doesn’t matter if we don’t live in the US, whatever president they pick will definitely affect us.
Or, as someone eloquently put it “we care about US leadership for the same reason that hostages care about their kidnapper’s mental health”.
