"Explanation" and "justification" are not synonyms, even if you just want an excuse for a Twitter-esque slap at Americans.

> It sucks but the alternative is

This is plain justification regardless of context.

With context it’s even worse, because the real alternative is to have a functional government, and a non far right president, who doesn’t happily kill people, if we want to talk about hypotheticals like using real money way after genie was let out of the bottle.

		.... That's not a justification. That's an explanation of how our system, in reality, works. Also, "the real alternative is a completely hypothetical, made up universe" is bizarro nonsense. In the actual, real world, that actually exists today, there are two ways of doing a thing. That you don't like those isn't particularly relevant. But hey, America/Americans suck, right? That's really all you wanted to get across in the first place.
