Crows can recognize geometric regularity

Why does everything need to devolve into a discussion or comment about US politics? Not everyone cares that much about it.

Because of the ways it influence modern life, and technology choices.

Those that don't care will eventually find themselves on a situation where they will care, by then it will be too late.

Because of the ways the benefactors want us to think it X

It really doesn't matter as much as the hysteria around it. Maybe the hysteria is 0.0001% accurate and that's generous. This is true for any political tribe, politics and political messaging in general.

I care, but mostly about my country, then my continent, and only them I'm roughly aware of things happening in other large countries (Russia, China, the US). I still don't see why comment about the US administration is relevant here.

The University of Tübingen is in Germany.

Whatever your feelings on the current US administration, no reasonable person could deny that it's having significant effects worldwide.

It isn't as if European countries are free of such problems, with similar minded parties, and since you mention Germany, AfD keeps increasing their size.

The economic priorities of the US will have significant effects worldwide even if you put a watermelon in the president's office. It has been having significant effects worldwide for the last 100 years. Politics has not changed this one bit.

Some "significant effects" are a lot bigger and more broadly negative than others. You know this.
