It will always mystify me that somehow Russia, which was a great ally pre-October Revolution, is still looked down in disdain today, meanwhile Great Britain, which meant America much harm in its early years, is somehow super ultra BFFs now.
A couple of edge case exceptions my apply
Honestly, the only country that I would personally even say would deserve that consideration would be Japan, if only because post WW2 the US has demanded borderline total disarmament while also playing "Nation Builder 1945" to reengineer the Japanese society.
I don't understand why public sector employees get to hide behind anonymity despite having tangible power over people's lives. The People aught to have complete and total information over exactly who does what in the federal government, down to the last time they took a shit on tax-funded time.
If the unelected bureaucrats don't like it, they can quit and work in the private sector
I get the analogy, but it's not a cancerous growth, it's 3 gangrenous limbs and the patient is about to go into septic shock.

Insert Obi-wan You're supposed to destroy the institutions, not become them!
Anyone who's read the whitepaper knows this to be true, hell even the very first block created specifically has an anti-establishment "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".
Institutional adoption is poison for BTC, mark my words.
Old tip from pipe smokers, if you start feeling woozy or dizzy from using nicotine, try consuming some sugar.
Nicotine messes with blood sugar levels in the body, and sometimes if you haven't eaten in a while it can cause that sick feeling.
The phrase of the month is: "consensus cracking".
With a support base so broad after the win in 2024, DS is going to be looking to shave/reclaim elements of support from said base.
