    Remember back in the 1950s when Iran tried to do cultural appropriation of the West by electing a prime minister? Obviously the US had to overthrow them and set up the Shah as a puppet, returning the country to its rightful place as an “Eastern government”.

      You are talking about the actions of governments, I’m talking about the style of governments. All governments do shitty things not the least the Western Colonial powers that tried to subjugate the entire world.

      What is an issue here is having honest elections and being allowed to speak our minds and protest and such.

      Have fun in your Eastern style government in the US here pal. They love the woke pc brigades. But you will be working 6 days a week 12 hours a day until you are replaced by machines and eliminated so you know.

        I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. That I wouldn’t like living under a certain type of government that you made up?
