    propagandized against communism? 100%
    vassals of the US? same.
    But “we’re basically Americans” is an insult I won’t take.

          I gotta hand you guys that, it does seem like there’s a limit to how much bullshit you’ll tolerate. We have yet to find that limit in the states.

            Glad you acknowledge it.
            Plenty here get real defensive for pointing that out.

            I guess we are slightly less indoctrinated into bootlicking the authoritarian state.
            We don’t thank our regime troops for their service, our cops don’t get free stuff in shops, etc…
            No comically large flags or killer jet fly overs at sports games either.

          well yeah, it seems the usians prefer to dance and vote. i’d rather celebrate local cultures on their own terms, not under US hegemony.
