I like politics. I don’t like being blasted with US politics, despite my* inability to do anything about them, especially when they circumvent my* extensive word blocklist. I guess that makes me a bad person ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t live in America, but I’ve been doing lots to help with US politics. I’ve been comforting my trans friends who live there, campaigning for refugee visas in my country, talking to Americans on the internet and asking them to vote Democrat in the midterms, and warming my local community up to the idea that we might have to fight against USA in world war 3.
I can do all that because I’m a kind, smart, determined, and creative person. You said you can’t do anything about US politics? That’s a shame.
There are important issues in my own country that I focus my spoons on, yet despite that I am working on getting a creature to my country on a refugee visa from the US. Which is far more meaningful than looking at memes on Lemmy.
What is a shame is that you do not care enough about your neighbours to meaningfully try and address issues at home. I would rather work in my community to encourage people to vote for the Greens or the Socialists than to convince USians to vote for a party that does not work for them.

It’s not a zero sum game. I don’t have to forsake my friends in America and become a national isolationist in order to make change here. Gods, you sound like Tony Abbott with the “my country first” rhetoric.
