I might have chosen the wrong wording here. I stand corrected, that one is indeed quite a stretch, though definitely a point I heard many times before as the US government is by far the most major contributor to what's been happening there.
Guess the joke didn't land well. What I'm conveying is that I'm just a regular dude laying my perspective as a foreigner, unlike state trolls who would've pretended to be US citizens to shill for someone. And my homecountry is a literal fascist state at this point, so... yes, that's what those tend to do.
It's almost a sunrise in here so I'm just rambling at this point. But the point is - you've got two turds to choose from and it's fucked either way, but it's one turd more than in authoritarian countries and those suck MUCH more. So, prefer ones that at least don't reduce that amount.
