I just love to see that 3rd world events that were previously explained by "slave mentality" or by "lack of democracy institutions development" are happening in the 1st world countries.
Also, be brave in these uneasy times.
- But it is a lack of democracy institutions development. "Slave mentality" too, although I prefer different phrasing.
  
  There's the trick: what do you call democracy? Usually, the word "democracy" is reduced to the word "elections" and here the field where the autocrats like to play.
  "Slave mentality" too
  In my experience, this one is usually used as a token of some superiority over another nation or over your very neighbors who elect candidates you don't like.
~~The man who voted for the "leopards eat your face" party had his face eaten by leopards. More news at noon.~~
Edit: misunderstanding of a word in my case and my comment did not make sense. I'll leave it for the shame. :)
- What? Did you read the headline or article at all? He is an Australian national who wrote on the protests. He doesn't get to vote in us elections.
  
  I'll be completely honest. I didn't. :D
  Edit: oh hang on. I completely misunderstood the meaning of the word "decried". My comment does not make sense at all in that case.
I feel bad for the guy, and I in no means mean to make light of his situation.
But am I the only one who sees a dollar-store Tom Hiddleston?
