the US is not remotely a 'golden boy of good'Ah, but it is in the context I stated.
Quote:
Not to mention, if you compare the US, its citizen's intentions, and its government's intentions, and yes the DnD's intentions to all but a tiny handful of countries, the US is a golden boy of good.
Note the conditionals. "intentions" and "compared to all but a tiny handful of countries".
Also note the context where I was careful to say "Compare today's US".
In these contexts, the history of the US is meaningless, and only today counts. And I was referencing "colonial powers", which are historical, to us actions today.
I know all the US has done. I also know all the British Empire did. I also know how Russia, China, Iran, and various tiny dictatorships around the world act.
Yes, the US is very much a "golden boy of good" in reference to, and comparison to these things.
Anything and anyone can be made a monster taken out of context.
