Plenty of people around the world know about the authoritarian aspects of the US way better than the Americans, as they suffer their consequences.
- broken-kebab 6mo agoWhich ones do you like to mention?
- jerojero 6mo agoHyper presidentialist state that allows one administration (and realistically one person) to start a war against another nation without having authorization from congress. This happened a few weeks ago, actually.
- broken-kebab 6mo agoActually, I'm in favor parliamentary republic with proportional representation, but words have meanings, and "authoritarian" is impossible to apply to a country with electorally changeable power by definition. Or a one with working separation of powers. And plenty of other attributes present in the US.
- amunozo 6mo agoIran, Gaza, Cuba, Irak, Afghanistan, Yemen, Lebanon... These people do not only suffer their tyrannical governments, but they must suffer also the war actions of the US and its allies.
- andriy_koval 6mo agoIts two step system: tyrannical government committed war actions against US and allies, US and allies responded, people suffer.
- Petersipoi 6mo agoThe fact that you just rattled off a list of terror states like it was nothing is so damn funny to me
- amunozo 6mo agoYou know that there are regular people living in these terror states that have to suffer not only their terror states but the US? It's not that I feel pity of the terror states, but of the regular people. It's a very easy distinction that for some reason (racism?) people is troubled to make.
- broken-kebab 6mo agoIt's obviously not the answer for the question asked.
