  • Oh yeah? What’s your beacon of a country? England? France? China? Russia?

    The fact is we were generally dragging the world (in hand with Europe) towards better ideals, like equal rights for all, democracy, and eliminating low level corruption.

    It wasn’t always the case, and was certainly in fits and starts. But in our absence I don’t see China or India having that generally positive influence on the world.

    Yes, there’s room for improvement. But if we’re at a C while most other countries are content with an F, well…

    USAID has done a lot of good around the world.





  • Oh? Tell me about your country then.

    There have always been issues. There was a lot of precursor to this. But there has never been anything this bad.

    America was a beacon for the world, despite our violations and blemishes. Relative to the rest of history, we were leading the world ina better direction,.

    Nixon was out after Watergate. You don’t have to bribe our doctors or our cops during traffic stops. While we’re having issues with LGBTQ, we were a leader in treating people with respect for a few decades. That’s our norm.

    This is Idiocracy.
