United States, say it with me, United States

My country suffered a literal coup as a consequence of US meddling in our internal affairs and hijacking our media, newspapers, radio, against the national interest and democratic values of the nation spreading literal fake news

I'll let you guess which country I am talking about, because heaven knows there's not only one

Sure nobody denies this but "you deserve it therefore stop complaining" is not really an argument, more like shutting down the point entirely. I agree with you that the sanctimonious outrage over the attempted, but laughable election interference is quite tone deaf.

Please actually just state the country.

Just wait until the CIA is considered the foreign affairs authority, and all information that disagrees with them is considered misinformation.

The US government will be able to engage in as many coups as they want and Google and Facebook will help make sure nobody ever knows.

That already happened, basically. Anyone who talks about the CIA in anything but a positive light is a "conspiracy theorist" (their words). It's a criminal organization that has perpetrated an endless list of crimes against humanity, sponsored by the American taxpayer and undocumented money from terror campaigns. Now they have a happy little venture capital firm that invests in new tech, like google and facebook. What do you suppose the ROI is for those investments?
