What news source calls these protests riots though?


Freedom fighter vs terrorists.

The state will always use loaded language to change public opinion.


Yeah, people take democracy for granted.

As a result, we have people like Trump and Musk, both narcissists and sociopaths, at the White House.

Growing up, I dreamed about going to US, but was born on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. As I got older and visited the country, it somewhat cooled my dreamed (Europe progressed dramatically in the meantime).

And now I feel a bit nostalgic and disoriented to be honest - what I once regarded as the country with the highest standards of ethics, integrity and rule of law, is unfortunately proving once again that no empire lasts forever. Of course it's a bit too soon as the US is still a superpower, but it definitely feels like the tide turned and really quickly.
