I fully agree with your goals (last paragraph). Literally all I was disagreeing with was the finality of it, that your country is permanently wrecked. It is currently wrecked, but nothing is fully permanent, and with enough time (talking a decade at an absolute minimum, more likely multiple decades) and people commiting real effort, this is fixable.

Never say never. In 1986, it was utterly unthinkable that the dictator of my country (Romania) would ever be overthrown. 3 years later, he fails a mad scramble to get out of the country and ends up being executed.

Might not be visible now, might not be for years, but there’s always possibility.
