If you were in say, Alice Springs in Australia (wink wink) for example, you'd be able to see traffic for Indonesia, Philippines, most of South East Asia, and perhaps parts of China, South Korea and Japan if the beams are right.
I wouldn't say it's ONLY tech that is talked about here, I do see a lot of cross-over with Tech and the political climate in the United States as both are very much intertwined. I have seen people recognise that things are becoming a lot more autocratic.
Though for your sanity, I recommend trying to pull away from the news and social media much as possible. These places greatly amplify the issues and no doubt make people more anxious and nervous, because they want your attention on their platform all the time to advertise and make revenue.
It's important to stay aware of events, but you gotta make sure you take care of yourself too. Take a break if it's becoming too much.
As for what to do about the US... I can only hope your constitution and those who truly uphold its values will continue to fight the attack against it.
On the flip side, I was out of a job for about 6 months after being made redundant, the next job I applied for asked, and I was up-front about it. There were no further questions asked. (and I got that job)
I think the key is to be honest, let that filter out bad jobs for you just as much as the employers think they're filtering you out :)
I would immediately be put-off by this if I had to interact with it.

What he posted probably isn't a credible threat that should result in arrest, but he's been a serial pest and fearmonger for YEARS, so I do not shed a single tear.
I need the higher doses, so I'm practically screwed. Makes me so damn frustrated, cause I'm 4-5 months down without meds and I'm REALLY STRUGGLING. Depression, zero motivation, practically no executive function. Really needs to be accountability on these companies to ensure they can supply.
