Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

          What does your comment mean? Are you just calling me an ape, or are you referencing some other argument/meme?

              I’m saying it’s good. I’m not saying it’s done for entirely altruistic reasons. Those are separate things.

                They said

                Name me a time when the US was intentionally and objectively good and don’t include times it was repairing damage it did. I’ll wait. Forever.

                You said

                Fighting WWII and currently supplying lots of stuff to Ukraine.

                y’know what I take it back, i’m calling you an ape

                  I’m saying the US has done horrible things. But saying it’s literally the worst thing possible and never can will or has done anything approaching beneficial pushes you right into embracing even worse authoritarian and cruel governments.

                    BRUH do any of these ‘worse’ authoritarian and cruel governments hold a global hegemony over others?

                    The world would be a far more prosperous place if the US were wiped from it
