    recency bias and the US outsized reputation makes it seem that I’m sure but lol if you think this is true

    we’re just more free to complain about it, probably not for much longer though

    so if you think it’s bad now buckle up and I say this as a generational casualty of US colonialism

      Its not receny bias. The US didnt just turn evil in Jan 2025.

      How are are all those black prisoners working in privatised prisons doing by the way?

      China has 4 times the population as the US, yet the US still has the largest prison population on Earth.

      Slavery never ended in america.

      Land of the free my hole. Its literally the least free country on the planet.

        who said anything about 2025? even if you want to peg the US evil starting with Nixon (which isn’t perfectly true as we were war profiteering in ww1/2) that’s recent, the US is a baby nation

        now you’re just throwing strawman arguments, I don’t support any of this shit the US is currently doing, it’s just stupid to think China hasn’t done worse in the last century, isn’t doing equally evil shit now
