Yeah sure whatever, let's pretend your question wasn't rhetorical. What you're doing here is called weaponised standpoint epistemology. Starting from a very valid base, namely "some aspects of things you can't know without having experienced them" you extend to "you can't know anything unless you were there", which is not valid. You don't want to talk about how Americans are flushing their democracy down the toilet and doing nothing to prevent it? Fine. But I'm not going to pretend that this is anything other than you putting your head in the sand.
