As an outsider, the framing of this question as a (false) dichotomy really looks like the strongest selling point of (US flavoured) capitalism.

It seems like y'all over there have been taught for multiple generations now that it's either the status quo or [GDR|USSR], and until very recently, nobody seemed capable of (openly) speaking of anythibg going beyond this limited range of settings.

...why are you using "y'all" if you're not American, let alone from the south?

Seriously? I play "you have all been taught to reflexively not talk about that" and you reflexively counter with "you used a funny word there"?

Thanks for making my poibt I guess... FYI I'm not only not American, I'm also not a native English speaker. Why not ask me outright how I dare appropriating your precious language by using your words at all?
