What do non westerners think about the current animosity between the USA and the rest of the west?
I'm looking for opinions from outside the US, Europe, Canada, Australia, NZ

I'm in the middle east, and it fucking sucks.
We have like 2 genocides going on right now, and the rest are autocratic dictatorships that persecute/massacre their people. Especially minorities. I don't like the democrats, but republicans are even worse. They're going to turn Jordan, palestine, lebanon and syria into rubble. Fucking hell. And they're going to fund the Sauds/gulf monarchies more.
Life's unfair, there's not much we can do about it here. But you can; please, protest all you can.
2 genocides in the middle east? I know what the first one probably is, but what's the second? Please enlighten me.
Signed: an ignorant european.
The genocide in Sudan. iirc the US is the only one yet to have declare it as such, but looking it up it's clear that the horrors and massacres that happen there is 100% a genocide.
France, Israel and the UAE are funding the RSF, who are barbaric, genocidal scum. The group came out of the janjaweed,who already have committed the darfur genocide two decades ago.
The RSF rape, ransom, murder and torture civilians and commit ethnic cleansing. They are less than scum. To put into perspective how bad they are, 100 women committed mass suicide, because the RSF was coming to their village and they knew they would be raped.
What a great day to be alive... Well I am sorry that us europeans are either apatethic or impotent...
It's no problem.
What really gets on my nerves, and infuriates me insanely is how some people act like the west is a beacon of morality, and then try to act like immigration is "importing the third world" - my brother in christ, why do you think we have to immigrate to your country? who enslaved, colonized, setup autocratic dictatorships a century ago, for your own benefit? And you think you have the right to complain??? (this isn't directed at you, by the way. I'm glad you are more open minded than others.)
It also kind of, and many of you may disagree with this; pisses me off that 50501 and all those types of protests never focus on foreign policy, but only things that affect them.
This may be a sweeping generalization:
after all my years, i've learned many people don't mind, or even support fascism: it's that the moment they are inconvenienced by it, by hitting their home turf all of a sudden they are anti fascist. Same story with WW2.
Slavery and colonialism never ended. They've just decided to keep it out their own countries, for their people to not see.
I'm very, very glad and happy that you are not like those who defend them all they can, and act like the west is this moral place. You are very open minded, we need more people like you.
