What is going on over there? Seems like crazy town. With the geriatrics and corruption, good god it looks dystopian from a rando aussie pov.

  Any country looks dystopian from the news. From the outside, your own country seems to have a dystopian liking for government control of speech and the internet. If your daily experience does not align with this perception, consider that Texans might be in exactly the same boat as you, perception-vs-reality-wise.

    The attorney general of Texas is openly corrupt and is in the middle of a criminal trial. Acting like Texas isn’t uniquely shitty requires intentionally forgetting reality.

      The government of many places, like the EU and Australia, openly and regularly make moves to crack down on individual freedoms in favour of state power - and they aren’t even in criminal trials.
