    Yes they do, but people are just mad at America specifically right now so they just pretend we’re the only country that has ever done anything evil

      Somehow it hits differently after our society decided that human rights were a thing.

        You’re right, but America is funding the genocide so we’re still getting the shit for it. And don’t get me wrong, we deserve it when we deserve it, but there’s accounts out there unironically asserting that America is the root of all evil in the world and that it’s only America that is bad

      Nah, don’t worry dude. America is just on the same level as China, Russia, North Korea and others now: not an enemy, not an ally. A potential threat, with a dictator at its head.

      I can’t do much about the Roman Empire, crusades, Conquistadors, Putin or Winnie Pooh. I can criticise them, just as well as Israel’s crimes and the US’. The US is what I have the most contact with and what you’ll hear me complaining about most, but not the only thing.

      No one pretends that the US is the only country doing anything bad… Arguably China and Russia for instance are still a lot worse when it comes to human right violations.

      But it is a lot more pressing that USA is turning to fascism/authoritarianism since it will then be two global anti-democratic Superpowers not only one.

      And before any .ml users jump the gun. Idgaf about how you think China is so great, keep it to yourselves.

      This is hardly true. What bullshit, loser, victim mentality.
