The United States is guilty of killing countless civilians in its bombings of Iraq and Afghanistan. The United States is guilty of toppling democratic governments the world over and funding dictatorships and covert wars.

You use some seriously negative phrasing/connotations, but I sincerely hope the US isn't finished with any of those things.

The Chinese government does the same thing trying to compare Kent State with Tiananmen. They are trying to blur the lines between inevitable faults in societies whose governments largely uphold human rights, and those that blatantly violate them on a systematic level, as part of the basis of the regime's existence.

I think the United States has pretty much always blatantly violated human rights on a systematic level as part of the basis of the regime's existence.

Genocide against the Indigenous people, Slavery, keeping blacks from voting until the 60's/70's, the widespread acceptance/inaction on the subject of illegal labor as the bottom run of our economic ladder.

Not to mention all the illegal wars of agression, innocent civilians killed around the world, violent dictatorships supported. The world order the United States built is highly abusive and violent, and continues to be.

Two things:

a) It's funny how you're allowed to say that even though you live in the United States. If you lived in Tehran or Beijing, you would not be allowed to say that about Iran and China, respectively.

b) About your actual post. It's so wrong I honestly don't even know what to reply. I'm completely disgusted. If you really want to hear it (people like you generally don't), I can post a fuller rebuttal.
