      Of course he’s right but that doesn’t stop generational propaganda from wearing off that easy.

      There is somehow always a boogeyman that’s making US suffer, it’s never the US itself because it’s the “greatest country” in the world and everyone is jealous. It can’t be anything else.

        I think you stopped reading after the first two words but that’s okay, he’s wrong and I think anything that transparently threatens the security of a populous has a right to ban it. Yes, a bunch of boomers banning a phone app looks bad but there’s a reason we don’t use Huawei phones either. I know a lot of people have US derangement syndrome because the most influential country in the world seems to not have a steering wheel and the gas pedal glued to the floor, but please, try not to make stupid conclusions like “They’re jealous”

        The only thing we’re jealous of is the fact your government will occasionally change something for the better. We have to pick between slowing down towards a car crash or accelerating rapidly.
