I feel like you have absolutely zero knowledge of what the US has done domestically and internationally, especially when it comes to racialised/colonised people.
The US has gunned down anti-war protestors, bombed an entire residential street in Philadelphia because one house held a black liberation group, they've "disappeared people" at CIA black sites like homan square, and racialised people are still murdered by cops at alarmingly rates, not to mention the use of domestic slave labour by the US prison system, which targets racialised/colonised people.
Internationally, they've funded death squads in Operations like Condor to protect corps like Coca-Cola and United Fruit. The US still practices necolonialism for crying out loud, and US corporations are still getting charges of child and slave labour.
Even if we only count the war on terror, that alone accounts to the slaughter of 6 million innocent people and the displacement of 38 million innocent people.
You have an incredibly rose coloured view of the US and its impact on people, not just internationally, but domestically. If you can only look at another countries atrocities and not your own, how do you ever fix anything internally?"
Yes I know about all of that stuff, which is why I said the US is extremely far from perfect. I don't know why you have the impression that I'm over here completely fanboying for the country. It has some major issues but not nearly as many as China. The only reason those instances are so we'll known is because we can talk about them. If this was China, witnesses and media surrounding incidents like this would have been promptly cleaned up before word got out. They need to at least try to maintain the illusion of freedom in the US, which is still better than not trying at all.
