Ok, 60+ year old examples aside, how does any of that excuse anything anyone else does?
It fucking doesn't!
This is the actual non sequitur. Your original comment is this:
The US needs ranked choice voting badly, but to say the only difference between the US and Russia is the two party system is just straight up incorrect. Opposition leaders and dissidents do not get regularly assassinated by the government in the US for starters.
This is factually incorrect in regards to the US. Your government regularly does murder dissidents. Nowhere in this chain am I excusing Russia, I am explaining to you that the US and Russia are not different. You are both corrupt, capitalist, fascist military-industrial empires that must be destroyed and have no redeeming value. Your point here is a complete non sequitur.
Totalitarianism is about thought control. The US has that so tight over its population you can't even see the forest for the trees.
k, you just give Putin a free pass then buddy because if one nation does terrible shit that magically makes it all ok for everyone else. Totally reasonable.
Not sure where you got that anyone is getting a pass from, your ass probably because you aren't reading or understanding a god damn thing. Fuck Russia. Fuck America. Fuck you.
