A former soviet republic that never managed to stabilize after their soviet time doesn't really count.

No true Scotsman.

Maybe the US never recovered from being a slave-owning British colony. Everyone has their baggage.

The post I was replying to said "Other countries - it’s coming for you. "

Most Lemmy users aren't people using it from former Communist countries that never made the transition to working democracies. It may be coming (or have already come) for Hungary. But it isn't coming for "you", because "you" don't have the problems that Hungary or the USA does.
