Ah, I don't think it's beside the point at all.

If the new government is crooks, and the old government was crooks, then it is just crook vs crook.

In particular, the fact that the new government (which is, as you agree, also funded by drug dealers) is opposed to the old government is just a turf battle between different factions of drug dealers.

And that's the unfortunate situation in much of Latin America.

The people caught in the middle have to survive somehow. They themselves aren't committing crimes, but they have no choice but to interact with criminal governments.

To escape, they only have a few options: (1) exit via emigration, (2) exit by negotiating a special economic zone, or (3) use the internet to call in reinforcements from abroad.

Note that both (1) and (2) still require interacting with the criminal government. As for (3), that's why ZEDEs called on the global courts system, for a more fair hearing than they could get locally from Castro's crooks (which, again, we agree are crooks).

Btw, the balaji vs ryan debate is still ongoing. Very interesting honestly.
