    I agree with everything you said here except America having promise. America doesn’t have promise, it’s been holding the world back for a long time now, and bullying all the other nations. It would be best for it to crash and burn like all the other nations it made crash and burn.

        Can you actually say I am wrong? America is known for modeling in foreign affairs, sponsoring coups and starting civil wars, and just straight up invading places. You’re even worse than China, and China has a bad track record.

          America Literally every powerful nation is known for modeling in foreign affairs, sponsoring coups and starting civil wars, and just straight up invading places.

          Many of those other nations are much worse than the US.

          America has been holding the world back in the sense of separating combatants in fist fights. We have been global peacekeepers for almost a century now and it’s been an incredibly good thing for the human race. Not to mention our technological advancements. The rise of the USA has been a good thing for humanity, though it does have its downsides.

            The first part is sort of true, but nobody does it more aggressively than America and Russia.

            You aren’t even close to peacekeepers. You are literally sponsoring genocide in Palestine. You started a whole war in Vietnam and then lost. Stop pretending to be the good guys.

        I think the fact I am English has as much bearing on this opinion as being left-adjacent. My country helped form the United States, and many of us (not just leftists) are disturbed at what has happened since we were kicked out. I mean it’s a common stereotype here that Americans are dumb, fat, and racist.

            Yeah the fact we are now only moderately better than the USA is disturbing. Hey at least we don’t have fascists and right wing nut jobs trying to take over the government. Likewise you don’t go broke from getting ill, even if the care isn’t as good as it used to be.

                We weren’t the ones having people invading the capital. When have we had fascists trying to take over?
