@ncoca I wish we could yeet USA into space but since we can't, we gotta deal with these muthafuckers whether we want to or not.

@jaystephens @ncoca I was thinking more about how Global South is under more threats under increased global fascism.

@PhoenixSerenity @ncoca
Good point - it may be true here in comfortable Australia, but it's doubly true in the global South due to both the USA's recent general support for global fascism, and more specifically their recent string of regime change efforts. - Ms. Que BanhPhoenixSerenity@beige.partyNov 5, 2026, 3:53 AM

I'm in Canada & we frequently refer to USA as our basement meth lab neighbours who we cannot help much...nor be able to move away from, geographically. 
Nov 5, 2026, 4:34 AM@PhoenixSerenity @jaystephens For me, it's more about the scale - just so much attention/coverage - and how little, in comparison, neighboring countries gets. It's too skewed.
for Japan, why so much attention to Texas, or Kansas, and not Taiwan or Indonesia. So little coverage of elections or protests there.
