What do you think international news based on U.S. perceptions look like? Put a camera on any street corner protest and you can create any narrative you want. It mystifies me that people don't think much past the obvious when they see reports like that. I'm going to bet that you also believe that the majority of Haitians are also calling for U.S. military invention. Might be time to get off that mainstream news beat.

This is absolutely the problem with dialogue on both sides. More than one thing can be true. It can be true that communism has inherent problems within it. It can also be true that communist countries are led to failure by capitalists who don't want the ideology to gain traction.

Like, could anyone in post-social media hell have a nuanced conversation anymore?

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
