Coming from the country with possibly the most unfair election sytem in the world, that regularly entreats with absolute monarchies and genuine autocrats the world around, and holds conferences with Somoza's heirs as part of their electoral campaigns, this statement couldn't possibly be more hollow. Low hanging fruit, but if the Ortegas were "just as bad" as the Somozas, the US would be giving the Ortega government millions of dollars in funds and weapons to kill political opponents

    One of these days one of the tiny countries in the global south is going to push back in a way which cannot be ignored, and it’s going to be a bloodbath. Fucking again. And living in the armpit of Babylon makes me complicit in it.

      Complicit of the evil lizards just for living where you live? Nah, that's silly.

        Still not sure how to speak up against it without getting smacked down immediately.
