That's the thing. I watch all sorts of Youtube videos made from an American perspective. Then I look outside then window (so to speak) and it's calm and there's no drama of that sort. We've got a rather large population segment of middle eastern people, but no terror and very little strife in general.
Of course we don't have that prickly issue with slavery and such. I think it's really quite understandable that there's a lot of unrest in the US. Slavery, Jim Crow, police shootings of black citizens... completely unlike what's going on where I live - both currently and in terms of the last couple hundred years of history.
I read and watch so much that's from an American perspective, but I keep having to adjust it to what my world looks like.
