    I find it absurdly disturbing how the United States of America went full mask off and isn’t even trying to hide their blood thirst. At least in the past, the United States still had that “cordiality” and constantly used buzzwords such as “Freedom of Speech,” “Democracy,” and “Rule of Law.” I don’t think there’s anything more treasonous than being a right-wing reactionary in the global south in 2026. These people will hate you if you’re inside, and outside of their countries. I pay taxes so my damn politicians (Nikolas Ferreira and Eduardo Bolsonaro) can travel abroad and openly talk about how they want to get us bombed, sanctioned, couped, and occupied. And then these SAME PEOPLE will whine about being under a dictatorship, even though they’re free to commit multiple crimes. …While also not being here. America is so lucky for having a right-wing like ours, they don’t even have put them on a payroll like in the past. I can’t even call them sell-outs because they do it for free.

      Trump has proven that the “cordiality” of government isn’t worth the effort when you can just do wtfever you want and nobody can stop you, not that other politicians even want to stop him.

      I think they have recognised that the western world (and possibly everywhere else) just blames this on Trump, and once he is no longer in power the US will commit their atrocities in a more “civil” way once again. They’ve dropped the mask because they can always walk it back later.
