What's obvious for us who have been oppressed by the empire, for those who live there it might be impossible to see. They're the ones under propaganda 24/7, after all. Occam's razor works really well for many users of this site, but as soon as the subject is a rival superpower, everything is thrown out the window and it's the usual McCarthyism.

Please tell me where you are from that you're being oppressed by US right now, not 10 years ago or 100 years ago.

Also, US isn't the only democracy in the world (it's actually a representative republic, but anyways).
