“Surrounds us” maybe if you’re chronically online
Frequent airstrikes on civilians in Gaza even since the 'ceasefire', frequent attacks on likely fishermen/migrants in the Caribbean, strikes on Yemen and Iran within the last few months, Ukraine war, Cambodia-Thailand conflict, ISIS kidnapping in Nigeria less than two weeks ago, attempted arson on a train in Chicago last month, ongoing Afghanistan-Pakistan conflict, Bombing in Delhi last month, I can go on
Does 'chronically online' just mean not wilfully ignorant?
US foreign policy is a different topic than domestic. US foreign policy has always been vile.
The gulf between the wealthy class and the rest of the country has reached the critical point where those with power see all of us as "foreign". The imperialism is turning inwards.
The wealthy don't even live in the same world we do, nevermind nation.
