I’m not from US, but rather Eastern Europe, though I do admit that the most news I see is from US due to them being the majority on most popular internet sites.

That being said, I’m not talking just about the US but rather western world as a whole, particularly US, Western Europe and my home country, Lithuania. Unless I slept through some event where oppressive systems there got dismantled this century, what I wrote should, at least from my perspective, still apply to those regions and not just the US.
