    Governments can and should be criticized without bigotry towards the governed populace. We should always take the side of the civilians, as we are civilians too.

    It is in fact these governments producing massive amounts of propaganda to demonize “the other side.” What might they have to gain from global culture wars such as this?

        Everyone lives in a culture that’s somewhat manipulated by the government they’re under. I don’t think now is the time to discuss rationalist economics.
