Sorry, but the Global South has totally earned their right to laugh a bit at the US and USians suffering. No one here, as far as I know, is really expressing anything reactionarily anti-proletarian or ecofascist without being called out or having content removed. Most are just poking some fun. What people in the US are going through is what people in the Global South have been going through for decades, if we're not thinking centuries, and in much worse circumstances. And conditions in the US for working people have been better off many times because there were so many people in the Global South who were also stuck and had to deal with their harsh reality back home.

Yeah, there are a lot of working class people getting caught in the crossfire between US hegemony and the Global South. That doesn't mean people can't have some dark humor about the situation and laugh, or some schadenfreude at worst. This feels to me like when White people are upset about PoC saying KKKracKKKer because their family was poor.
