Note that everyone's situation is different, especially depending on the country you're in, but this is my own (and my partner's, who helped me collaborate on some ideas!) experience, specifically in Québec, Canada.
Living as immigrants or temporary residents in a new place, we tended to be around other immigrants and temporary residents, whether it was at school, in French class, or in a meetup group (Montréal is extremely diverse). Compared to the US, our friends in Montréal are from all over the world (partially because Canada is the easier country to immigrate to in North America). Both my partner and I have friends who've fled Ukraine or even have family members still within war zones. So, when we complained about the state of the US, our reality kind of got checked. Two things can be true — the state of the US and the unrest elsewhere — but also, as white Americans who grew up in the safety of suburbia, we've been pretty safeguarded (so far) from the political unrest and displacement that our friends in places like Ukraine, Palestine, Egypt, Iran, and Venezuela have and continue to see, which was a humbling check of our privilege.
