I honestly don't pay much attention to other countries, but...

Pedo/incest family stuff
Corruption syndicates
Media coverups
Social media blackouts
Deep State Bureaucracy quashes
Pandemic politicization
"Mostly" peaceful riots

2020 is awash with the crazy. The rest of the world must be eating popcorn and watching us like an unscripted reality TV show.

Central and South American countries probably make our shite look like a walk in the park. And Putin wins every election with like 90%+ of the vote.

I was listening to Hard Talk on the BBC last year. There was an African leader who was arguing about the numerous dead bodies found each morning in the streets after his goon squad had done nightly visits.

His defense was "Its the opposition they are killing their own people and throwing them in the streets so they can blame me".

Sounds ridiculous, would have been more believable if he had blamed the Russians...ya know what Im sayin.

The media had a meltdown when the AfD gained a ton of seats here in Germany in the 2018 elections. They had the ANTIFA groups marching but the Polezi usually is good at keeping these people in line well in Bavaria at least. Bremen has been known to have far left groups that riot ,but Germany somehow keeps this out of the media or at least downplays it. The EU itself is full of scandals ,but it is either downplayed or just not covered. You think our media is bad it is worse here.

Not sure if other countries are as wild, but I clearly understand how countries that centralize all power [Putin, Saddam Hussein, etc] are guaranteed the outcome... and that is scaring the shite out of me.

Never thought I would live to see the day when the outright censorship of one political party, the hiding of criminal misdeeds by the FBI, and the suppression of real stories by the media while they promote false stories against the other party would happen in this country. But here we are.

Better be ready for a fight. And I’m not talking about the election.
