I'm more like talking about the people living in the USSR.
For most Russians during the revolution, the USSR looked like an upgrade. It's true that for many it was. But for the USA, communism is a definite downgrade. Once this sinks in, it's going to lose its luster, big time.
Poland had a cohesive culture? Yeah if you discount the Germans, Russians, Ukrainians, and multiple Polish cultures all contained in the borders created in 1945. What Poland had was a willingness to fight for freedom, and solidarity. There's no magic 'homogenous culture potion' anywhere in the world.
We learned some hard lessons these past four years. Yes, optics matter. The press is such a powerful weapon that optics cannot be ignored. Rallies need field marshals (irl mods) to prevent political sabotage and agent provocateurs (irl trolls). APs sank our 1/6 rally. Many other hard lessons that cannot be forgotten.
How's the US supposed to have a strong military if it's staffed by people who are trained to think the US is a shitty country? Who would stay in the military except for the gibs? No one worth a shit in a fight will be willing to get his balls blown off for gibs alone.
Gotta find your allies where you can.
