It's strange how people are like "America is bad, so the people they don't like must be good!" Corrupt governments crave control, so they don't like other corrupt governments because they're competing with them for that control. The American government is bad, the Chinese government is bad, the Russian government is bad - nearly every person in power in the world has gotten to that position by being evil, and would do terrible things to get further ahead. It's not about which country's government is good, it's about the citizens of all countries coming together to fight against global corruption in all governments.

I'm relatively anti-authoritarianism, but this is a reductionist garbage-post
