You've got it the wrong way round, the axis of evil which is NATO did denounce the elections. Most of the rest of the world sent observers who confirmed the results.

Few exceptions, of course, as Lula seems to rather like how his ass feels on the fence and Boric hasn't found a boot big enough that he won't have a go at licking it.

I do agree with your points. I think it's certainly an insightful book (just not in the way Orwell intended) but not a good book.

It's short, it's incredibly concise, it doesn't use needless academicisms, and it's surprisingly very funny. It's probably the best value-to-volume ratio of any political text imo.

Panem et circenses except you're gouged for your panem and the circus is congress itself

It's short, but not punchy. It's a
hundred pages of diatribes, some misogyny, a story beat, another fifty pages raving about bureaucracy, a story beat, and 100 pages about brainwashing and how socialism fucking sucks. Then the most half-baked "how do I tie this bad essay together?" ending.

It's Atlas Shrugged for people who do take showers.

I hope it buckles into the abyss before the winter so I can stop having to anxiously look up what the fuck the US is up to today

The CIA as Organized Crime by Douglas Valentine (not about the mexican cartels specifically but about how they utilized the very same blueprint down to a t in Operation Phoenix in Vietnam and exported that model pretty much everywhere the US had its hands in)
