Its duty?!
The US has no mandate to meddle in international affairs, any more than a bully in grade school has a duty to stop smaller bullies from picking on their own victims.
The US has never been an international savior, it’s the only country in the world to have dropped nuclear bombs on civilians.
I think every country has a duty to its people to fight fascism. I don’t think that means military occupation but there are other things. If we learned anything from WWII being isolationists allowed the murder of millions of jews.
But I’m not here to argue with you so please do not respond.
What other things, specifically?
One of the major things that got us here was disinformation/misinformation. I believe in free speech, for sure. I don’t think that means everyone with a gripe should be platformed. I also think we needed to do much better protecting our data. One of the main reasons the algorithm works is there are no protections for individuals data. Breach after breach. Whistle blower after whistle blower. They weren’t being dramatic. We all because test subjects and what did big tech do with it? Seize power.
Fascists within?

Everyone, everywhere, has a duty to stop fascism and help their fellow man, regardless of what ultimately insignificant speck of a human decided to put a line on a map.
