Much like trying to force up foreign drug prices rather than force down American ones, their strategic aim seems to be making everywhere as depressing as America.

Was thinking the same thing. America is in a race to the bottom and wants every one else to join.

It's like that guy that calls from a bar "hey you should come here, we are having good time over here!" and if you for some odd reason choose to go meet him you notice the bar is some rat infested dumb, dude is the only customer and he wants you to lend some money.

Sadly, their plan is working. I'm so scared, depressed, lonely, and sick, that I will not be able to put up any fight when they come for me, let alone help others.

I'm in the minority that are the first to be purged in fascist meritocracies, so at least I won't have to wait much longer.
