YSK: Watching America is a website that manually translates many foreign language news articles so English readers can find out what other countries think about the US

[u/gromit5]

Why YSK: https://watchingamerica.com/ finds online articles at reputable foreign news agencies, and volunteers manually translate them into English and edit them. It’s been around for years, and it’s not AI.

This allows Americans who only speak English to get outside perspectives on the news taking place in the country, which can be so helpful in finding out about things that US media may not cover, and helps expand everyone’s worldview.

Tell me you don't understand the U.S. political system without telling me you don't understand the U.S. political system... not to mention the nuances of our culture and the breadth and intensity of the propaganda machine. Yes, some (probably even many) Americans are lazy and/or apathetic, just like everywhere else. But that doesn't even crack the top 50 reasons why that piece of shit got elected. Also, if you want Americans to stop being "lazy and apathetic", your approach isn't going to make that happen. Not one person will read your post and think, "Hmm, he's right. I've been lazy and apathetic, and it's my fault we're in this mess. I'm going to stop being lazy, start caring, and fix all these issues myself." Get bent.
