          Yes, I’m such a PaTriOt that I am deeply ashamed of most of the things the US does. But hey, at least I’m not so shallow that I think cool red logos justify disgusting and brutal authoritarianism under a different name.

            Your shame is as worthless as your political action lol, authoritarianism is a thought-terminating buzzword employed by spineless liberals too terrified of the idea of wielding power for good to actually do anything to help

            Your shame and a dollar would be worth a dollar.

            Read like, any book from outside the States. Or speak to someone who actually lived in these “brutal authoritarian” states.
