    What anyone thinks of Iran should pale in comparison to what they think of the US. Truly the most evil nation since Nazi Germany.

        not to get all tankie on you, but China has thus far managed to restrain themselves from bombing other countries’ civilian populations.

          dude spend two min googling ‘Chinese atrocities from 1900’

          like again I really don’t want to frame this like the US is the good guy, the US is not, but as a matter of scale currently China is still worse

          China has been worse than Nazi Germany

          all that said, US is trying real hard to be #1 in something again so yay!

          fuck I hate this

            Ok, I did that exact thing verbatim, and the entire first page of results are things that happened before anyone here was born.

            I’m not about to claim they’re saintly in any way, for sure they have lots of well-documented internal issues with civil liberties, free speech, and oppression of minority groups, but the fact that you’re going so far into the past to make your case just makes it a case in support of the opposite view.

              recency bias, there are people still alive that were directly impacted

              but thank you for actually reading about it

              but yes the US is bad, i’m not defending it

              but sure as fuck China doesn’t get to hand wave the past away

              and not all of their evils have stopped

              they’re just not being currently ran by an orange buffoon

              the US had evil shit going on under Obama and yet the world image of the US was much better then
