I wanted to ask this question to Americans, do you think it is ok for people who don't have a stake in USA future to discuss USA events and politics?

I personally think it should be encouraged, but I had met a very small minority of people who think it's not ok.

What do you think?

Swede here, I don't require permission to discuss foreign politics or events, nor do I need to grant permission to the relevant foreign person wanting to discuss Swedish politics.

American here, what’s exciting in Swedish politics these days? I’d like some reprieve from the dumpster fire that is America for a minute.

Nazis unfortunately (disclaimer not a swede)

Woah woah woah, hold on a minute. The topic of discussion is Swedes and Nazis, and you feel it necessary to make sure we all know you're not a Swede?! That's the part you want to clarify?
