The pro-democracy kleptocrats who install themselves in our institutions are no different from the authoritarians.
I lived through this shit with Consultants earning gazillions more than locals while fucking up all programs related to the social good. Some of the multi-laterals are the worst.

Some of these scumbags are also pedophiles who come into our countries to prey on our children.

This entire planet needs cleaning up big time.
