Man i really do feel for people from outside the imperial core who get pulled in by the world's biggest PR machine. Living here and seeing it happen is like living inside a lobster trap. Hi, nice to meet you, I'm afraid I have some bad news

It's so difficult to explain this to some people in the global south too. I've had people think I was crazy or just making shit up, they just straight up don't believe it.
