This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.

No need, I don't live in the banana republic.

Oh, you must live in one of those countries which the spectre of capitalism doesn't threaten the very fabric of society. Which planet is that on again?

Not everywhere has it to a degree where healthcare is witheld from you when it's not profitable/ even a small medical procedure ends in financial ruin. Not everywhere has "we need to have guns to prevent opression"

There was a pretty large gap, even before the orange man, between W-Europe and the horrible no rights shithole that is the US.
If they would try that here the streets would be on fire.
And now you're only getting rapidly worse.
If you can't take a hint and choose to make some snooty remark while being apathic and subservient little slaves then go ahead.
As I said, doesn't bother me and will not be sore to see you go, not worth saving.

Capitalism doesn't hold a candle to other institutions when it comes to ruining a nation.

Importing mistrust of institutions from other countries is doing that work.

It's perfectly valid to both mock and criticise a foreign nation. Just like burgers are free to ignore it for any or no reason.
