convincing people in the west that procedural liberal implementation of democracy is synonymous with the concept itself has been one of the most successful propaganda campaigns in history
They’re so propagandized, they take it as a given, or as a first principle before the conversation can even begin, that the US is a democracy with the best form of government.
IMO we need to keep repeating to these people that the US is not a democracy, its a capitalist dictatorship, and it used liberal / parliamentary “democracy” to kill off an entire continent of native peoples, and has since been the most evil empire in world history.
The good news is that the US is making it easier and easier to have this conversation. Before the whole Epstein business, people dismissed you as a crazy conspiracy theorist when you pointed out that the west is ruled by unaccountable oligarchs. Now, it’s become impossible to deny it.
