notably they did this only a few weeks after the "unite the right" white supremacist riots in Charlottesville, which IIRC is where the whole tiki torch thing started

Different country, Suckless isn't based in the US.

I don't think it matters. The rise of white supremacist in the US has echos throughout the world as far-right parties feel emboldened. The world follows America for better or worse.

Of course it matters. I was in Germany at the time and it didn't even hit the news. Not every country follows every little grievance that happens in the US every day. A single death due to car ramming isn't notable in a country where dozens of children are shot to death in schools every year.

This really doesn't matter. For reasons that I won't get into, I pay attention to Dutch news and most things that happen in The Netherlands don't make the news in the US. This doesn't mean you can't pay attention to another countries news. If you have certain ideologies you are more likely to pay attention to media that isn't mainstream.
