Media literacy of the US from those outside it is far worse in my experience. There's more than just a physical ocean between us.
Every gun debate I've ever seen with Europeans chipping in is a great example... They always preach abolition, not realizing we have more civilian guns in this country than we have citizens.
This country is super fucked up... And it has been this way for a very long time. You can't really fix it, we just try to constantly fight to take control away from those who want to destroy the world.
We're losing right now in a spectacular way, but it can't be fixed with most of the same methods that work in other countries, or even the same methods that have worked in the past. It's a unique mixture of problems that requires both new approaches, and quite frankly, stronger catalysts.
