I think a small percentage of Americans notice dictatorships but most have historically ignored world events. Usually, other country’s problems are more than most Americans can think about.
My point here, was now we have those problems ourselves and a lot of people are freaking out 'cause this is the worst we’ve had to deal with in a long time.
As an American, I think we go well beyond that. The average person here totally ignores every other country’s suffering and problems most of the time. And then we (on average) whine like small children as soon as we face any serious problem that’s been widespread around the world. This is more than just “I have my own things to do deal with”. It’s more like “It’s only a problem because it’s happening to me”. IMO, of course.
Yeah world events in American media aside from massive shifts don’t get talked about here. Instead it’s constant divisive bullshit.
I really like the yt channel Warfronts, been watching for a few months and it’s amazing how much world news I was missing before just in war related situations.

Wow, people think about their own countries more than other countries. Who would’ve thought!
