Look, this IMF = evil empire take is pretty weak. While they've definitely messed up with harsh austerity programs, calling it a US puppet ignores that it's a 190-country institution that's prevented multiple financial meltdowns. The Japan/Plaza Accord stuff is way more complex than you're making it sound.

On Bukele: Say what you want about his politics, but calling Bitcoin adoption pure propaganda misses the point. Tourism's up 30%, there's more financial inclusion, though yeah, daily Bitcoin use is still low. It's an experiment, a work in progress, with real trade-offs, not a "pact with the devil."

And NATO as just a US tool? Come on. Ask the Baltics or Balkans if they're being "enslaved" by choosing collective defense. International institutions are messy and need reform, but this good vs. evil framing is peak Twitter oversimplification and the easiest explanation to bring out. The truth is more boring: nobody is in control and everyone is scrambling for a bit more than they currently have.

Global governance is more complicated than "everyone's shit." 🤷‍♂️​​​​
