    You can just bring up various arab monarchies, as they are basically all completely subservient. Or like all the Operation Condor type regimes in South America, or the Apartheid governments in South Africa.

      Those are also great examples but I think the Korea example is the best because they’re programmed to think of North Korea as the bad spooky dictatorship that we were opposing with our “freedom and democracy.” Who knows. Maybe Israel will go so far off the rails that the Arab monarchies will look normal by comparison and that’ll be my go-to example.
