The people saying they haven't heard US citizens oppose what their govt is doing, just are trying to hear it. MuRicA bAd! No, American politicians are bad. American people are being disenfranchised by the wealthy, just like in Russia or China. I dont think all Russians or Chinese are bad people. I've worked with some wonderful Russian and Chinese people.
It's BadEmpanada, he's purposely divisive and has a bunch of odd takes that flop from one extreme to another. And this isn't me being critical of leftist, the guy has just gotten progressively weird over the years. The dude is a leftist who also supported regime change in Venezuela, and he's a transphobe. So I guess people contain multitudes.
