Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

    Why do you have to go 12 rounds on pedantic bullshit like this?

    Good question. I had hoped I would give an argument that the US is not incalculably worse than authoritarian regimes like Russia and China. But y’all seem to really like them despite reality, and there are way too many of you to talk to.

    And this isn’t good for my sleep schedule, so I’ll manually defederate by blocking all your subs. Bye, thanks for being reasonable

      It’s fucking wild how many times you’ve run face first into examples of not knowing what you’re talking about and being 100% wrong about and then continuing to say shit like “despite reality” as if you have any fucking idea what that reality is.

      You were probably going to get banned for all this debatebro bullshit anyway

      despite reality.

      Fuck you, you admit you can’t actually make an argument, and yet you try to hide behind your imaginary version of “reality”. If reality was supportive of you, then you wouldn’t have had such an issue with finding an argument.

      Now define Authoritarian

      You should give evidence for why the US is better than those two states instead of concern trolling or relying on truisms from the lies in the propaganda you’ve deemed worthy to repeat as fact .

      Fair enough on being barraged, but you could just make a separate post asserting your position on the US and why it is in fact better than its rivals. Even in your responses, you just reverted to “were not that bad because my enemies are worse” while denying the validity of the crimes of the US’s recent past and present role in sewing chaos and death.

      I’m a little annoyed you haven’t been banned though, Since you’re not really engaging or evaluating our opinion but just trying to force yours onto us - as ritual to purge doubts from your mind about US virtue - believing if we affirm your reality we can banish your doubts.

      " We’re bad but everyone else is worse" is just nationalist chauvinist praise asserting “we’re the best because everyone else is worse, therefore there’s no need to change”.

      You are a concern troll acting in bad faith and I am irritated that our mod team has not banned you as such, though I suspect it has to do with the time of day more than anything.
