One of the weirdest things about American life to me, as an adult immigrant, is how the rest of the world really doesn’t exist for most people. Not in popular imagination or daily life; and for a few people who are internationally aware, only Europe and Japan really exists.
I understand that’s how superpowers work, but my brain (attuned to at least regional then later global politics and culture) is really struggling to adapt. I really have to go out of my way to hear about the world.
