 Oh but I thought you said out of 195 countries the US is the only one that proves my point. You have shown you know how many countries there are in the world but you just don't know shit about them. 195 countries includes North Korea. But no no no they don't have corruption in government. Its only the US BC we are a bunch of silly capitalists that the rest of the world laughs at. Its such a ridiculous, illogical argument honestly. 

At this point you're reduced to making blanket statements about anarchists of which you have already shown you know nothing about. 

I'll say this again, your arguments about anarchists are old and tired. I heard them in college from both left and right alike. Back then it was "why don't you move to Somalia" and now you're using the Congo. Even though it has a government, of course that you claim has sold out to corporations. And you're right. Except you miss that those corporations have to buy off the government in order to do what they are doing. You even said it yourself. They sold out. So what the fuck use is the government then? Jfc the mental jumping jacks you have to do are amazing. 

So before, only 1 country proved my point. Now its a few of them. Just don't address the corruption in all the European countries I just mentioned. Or talk about the guy in Spain who is saying the same thing about his country. Or maybe the fact that Bill Gates is in hot water in the Netherlands for possibly lying about vaccines and causing injuries. The government definitely didn't allow him to do that in such a non corrupted country though did they? Its not like the response to covid was the same nearly throughout the whole world. Lock down and force people to get a vaccine that made big pharma billions. No definitely not. Its only 1 country that is corrupted. Even though Australia basically went full on authoritarian. 

These arguments are just outside the realm of logic. And its sad to me that people have such stockholm syndrome that they keep defending their subjugators.
