    The worst? Gonna ignore Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the rape and slaughter of the civilian population? Gonna ignore China’s concentration camps for Uyghurs? The only reason you get to trash talk the US so bad is because (for now) we still have a press that can widely report (mostly) the truth about events and actions by this administration. Those other countries keep that shit under wraps so we don’t get any info better than limited second hand at best. I’m sure there’s even smaller countries doing BS to their own and other people, but they’re probably too small for you to soapbox and virtue signal about.

      Russia did some pretty bad stuff in Ukraine (including some war crimes) but nowhere near the hell on earth unleashed by the US every few years. The civilian death toll in Ukraine war in 3 years is way less than any single year of the Gaza genocide.

      China did overreact to uighur nationalist terror groups with unnecessary searches, arrests, and reeducation camps, but it’s not even closely comparable to the other two. The closest widely-known comparison is perhaps the Japanese internment camps the US did during WW2, but less widespread.

      US is by far the shittiest most evil country on this planet, and until you come to terms with this and internalize it, you’re (a small) part of the problem.
