I said that all countries political systems are fucked up... but the people living in them don't see it because of blind patriotism/nationalism. For example, I sometimeson imgur, and on there I constantly see posts from Canadians / Europeans about how awesome their countries are, and then you see comments from Americans going on about how they wish America was more like these countries. The problem is that the Canadians/Europeans posting have a Stockholm Syndrome going on, and so they paint this lovely picture, when it's not the case. The reason I made the post is because you said "As far as the US is concerned, I have no say" (paraphrased), I was just pointing out that it's not just a US problem. |
Gotcha, and while that may be true, as I said, I'm not 100% up to speed on every countries political structure and goings on. I do know that this Congress is literally the most useless that the US has ever seen. I know it's not about helping the country, I know it's completely about consolidating their power, gaining more power, and gaining more money...which is where the apathy comes from, because even though we know exactly how they'll behave, we still have 2+ term congressmen in there. And it's both sides, not just Democrat, or Republican.
