Would you like 5️ times per day updates on all the inane and to you entirely unrelatable and irrelevant day to day details of what the politicians in germany do or say? No?
Well tough shit it is now on every official news outlet, plastered over the internet and social media, and referenced anywhere you might come in contact with germans. You also get constant reminders that you should care about this despite the fact that you can't vote in Germany and the fact that german domestic politics have zero effect on your existence.
Except what the leader of Germany decides to do doesn't generally affect the entire planet. At the same time if the leader of Germany was a racist, sexist, fascist, bigoted piece of shit hell bent on becoming a dictator I'd wanna know about every detail.
Whatever trump does inside the united states doesn't affect me. If he is closing or opening borders, if he is shitting his diapers, if he is dropping yet another incoherent ramble about something, doesnt matter to me at all.
This doesnt mean I wish to be ignorant of what foreign policies he pursues, it just means I dont need the constant barrage of irrelevant outrage.
E: also, we have our own right wingers gathering strength, why is that not of utmost importance to you as you say? Perhaps because it is irrelevant to you?
