In general, that term is mostly used outside of the borders of a country looking in. After all, "illegitimate leaders" tend to be authoritarians who take power and quell dissent within the borders.

Not at all arguing that it somehow leads to justification for an illegal invasion.

In this specific case the claim comes down to assertions of a sham election. If this was indeed the case (with the lens of an international survey obviously the US view is suspect considering the attack), then the Venezuelan people themselves do not view him as a legitimate leader, which simplifies the situation.

Entirely different, from an American perspective.

Afghanistan had the context of 9/11. All Americans knew about 9/11, and most cared strongly about it.

I doubt most Americans know anything about Yemen or know anything about any US involvement there, nor do they care.

Military strikes in Yemen aren't seen as the same war. Afghanistan and Iraq were boots on the ground, building up military bases, hearing about the occasional death of US personnel, etc. It's also decades apart.

When it comes to Yemen, the average American is probably entirely unaware of it, and the ones that do know about it are definitely going to place it in the Palestine/Israel context (which has huge mindshare circulation here, All things considered - we usually just ignore things outside of US borders and this is ultra politicized here). Maybe without that element, there would be more truth to what you were saying, but it's definitely in the Israel/Hamas war bucket as of now.

I have seen a very similar example with someone who quit their tech job to pursue th solution to quantum gravity with bizarre likely Ai generated mathematical work, and posted to HN about it. They also lived out of a car, and it sounds like OP is also homeless and could better use their elsewhere to improve their life.

I don't know what to say other than I truly hope OP can get help. If you are stuck in some sort of mental AI vortex, at least converse with some Ai about how this is an abysmal waste of time and poorly thought out. I also work in a field where I do idea generation, and most of the time is spent steel manning why I shouldn't do something. This AI slop should have never passed the filter. It really sounds like you are lacking this key step of the process.

Making a pizza out of food paste and flavor blocks and then showing AI screenshots is quite honestly meme tier, to the extent I was tempted to post these images with the descriptions as a gallery on something like /r/whatsfordinner as a joke, but I feel too bad about this to actually do it...

>If you want to get rich, build roads first; have fewer children, plant more trees

That's funny, because the supposedly widely repeated quote that I heard in the past that stuck with me is the exact opposite message on demographics:

"We have a saying in China to describe this situation –“Wei Fu Xian Lao” that we will get old before we get rich."

At first I had some suspicion that perhaps the findings were partly a result of interpretation of the question. After all, I don't generate a crystal clear image of what I'm thinking about - the image has some amorphous qualities and comes in and out of focus.

But dreams are ultra-visual experiences for me, to the extent where I will occasionally have flashbacks or deja vu to dream images that were exceptionally strong.

So that nullified my suspicion! That said, I do wonder if it's a spectrum, in that some people are more or less visual in their thinking, and on the extremes people may get the capability snipped, as the dim visual hum fades to black and background noise.
