Literally the first thing I checked after your first message, and I did check with other sources as well. We’re in the West whether we want to or not.

E: And I also want to add that your “what has your country done recently” is puzzling because we’re seeing some good changes happening for the better, and after so long. We’re the only Western country that I know to have held a democratic vote on its entire judicial branch as a direct measure by our madam president for fighting entrenched corruption and nepotism. The result has been surprisingly positive, and I consider it a good move regardless of the ideological differences that I have with the new Courts. I may not get my legal weed plants anytime soon, but I’m all in for transparency and better governance. We seem to be flying under the radar, even though we’ve been upholding the values of the Western world to make every bleeding heart Midwestern liberal proud (and yet somehow, we’re still not quite ever good enough for Canada, ffs 😂).
