    Like usual something that’s specifically for the US is posted like it’s true for the rest of the world, or like the rest of the world doesn’t exist.

      I totally agree, as a US citizen. It’s bullshit that we dominate the zeigthiedt of the world in general, but shit is fucked here. I really think we’re reaching a turning point of some sort. And I think we’re bazaarly influential on the rest of the earth. We suck. I feel sucky. A lot of us feel sucky. IDK. I’m honestly sorry for sucking so fucking hard.

      Russia is just that now, I can tell. War spending and security services spending first, with a large margin of that compensating existing corruption, everything else is either populistic balloons or can fuck a knife. I don’t think US has it as relatable as we do.
