What's crazy is just how terrible the globalist neoliberal political agenda and the mindless cookie cutter politicians they produce everywhere have been, that people are thoroughly fed up and are looking for alternatives, no matter how bad.

> globalist neoliberal political agenda

Bukele pitches crypto at CPAC, so it’s frankly hilarious you think he resides outside this order.

This speech? You think that makes Bukele a "globalist neoliberal"? That would indeed be hilarious, if you did. I do like your sense of humor!

But no I wasn't claiming any particular person is or is not "with" the western ruling class. Obviously this order welcomes many horrible dictators (and "authoritarian demagogues") among its ranks, famously in the Middle East but really anywhere it furthers their power. I was just commenting on the parent's post about people supporting them, and it's in contrast to their cookie cutter ones. The Justin Trudeau, United Nations types.

Not saying any particular politician or policy is better or worse, just that people feel like they've been failed.

I think it's bizarre and frankly hilarious that you think proximity to crypto is an indicator to ones proximity to the colloquial globalist order.

If there's one thing that the Five Eyes are known for, it's their commitment to crypto. /s

Unironically, yes. It was more likely than not invented by them.
