    Those poor naive people have been brainwashed into thinking their government helps people. Us enlightened and free Westerners know the system’s rigged and that those in power don’t give a shit about what we think, which proves the superiority of our system smuglord

      Its incredibly depressing talking to western liberals about politics. They can’t even imagine that countries actually exist where the goverment isn’t trying to kill them at all times.

      What’s even worse, is that when looking at any societal problem, the first place they look is the how the US half-tries and fails to solve a problem. How the US does anything, whether it be from health care, to law, to caring for the environment, should be the case study in what not to do. It’s a rare person who looks at how any non-western country tackles problems.

        The liberal worldview rests on a theological conviction that liberalism represents the pinnacle of governance, inherently destined to yield the best possible results. This article of faith, treated as self-evident truth, then dictates that any non-liberal system is, by definition, repressive and inferior. It’s a conclusion that requires no further examination.

      This will be unironically what libs and conservatives post if they ever saw this. Of course they won’t ever see it because they have a premium media diet of 100% western cope so they can imagine how they’re forces for good in the world as they repeatedly ignore every sign that the west is taking all the money and burning down everything it touches.
