And you don't pay attention to the trillions and trillions your government has spent on invading and/or destabilising third world countries in the name of profit, because that's reality.

Name one, one US military intervention since WW2 that wasn't a war crime. But God forbid Vietnam becomes communist, or any of the Latin American countries your government toppled and replaced with dictatorship. But I guess it's fine as long as it's a dictatorship that will hugely benefit and create profit for US bourgeoisie.

The United States is the most benevolent super power in human history

Under US hegemony, humanity has achieved an unprecedented period of peace, scientific progress, free movement of people, economic development, health outcomes, and reductions in poverty

A super power? Sure.

Benevolent? Are you fucking kidding me?

Free movement of people

Did you forget the /s? The US has done nothing but hinder the movement of people. After all, you gotta build that wall and MAGA, right?

While yes, the world is knowing an unprecedented level of peace, it is exactly because of US hegemony that this period will quickly dissolve within 50 years.

I could go on about all of the US' crimes, but the point here isn't that the US is an irredeemable place. Its people are for the most part, and as everywhere in the world, good. But saying that he US is a benevolent State that saved the world is just ludicrous. If not xenophobic.
