If you guys weren't so busy gobbling cock in such a one sided manner I wouldn't feel the need to counterbalance sentiment. You have never given some breakdown of history beyond allusions to general moments. With the pattern being I attack the West and you pull the equivalent of "Stalin bad", "Putin bad", "China bad", out of your ass and talk down as if my issues with the West just fell from the fucking sky. Yet, I am the American-centric one.
Minor counterpoint, but one speaking to others all generally living in the same nation. Will focus on the most relevant things pertaining to it and the discussion spun from the culture of inhabitants.
I despise all followers of Abraham, but I focus on the Christians more than the Muslims or Jews because they are more pronounced in the West and it's hegemonic dominance, and we both live in the US. It doesn't mean I don't know Muslims and Jews are also trash because I shit on Christians more often.
In the same vein, I don't need to point to the rape of Nanking as an excuse that "others bad too". Not only is it not an atrocity that tilts any invisible scales towards justifying America's past and present. But, it's just not the sort of thing that comes up in conversation. If we both lived in Japan I would mention it because in that instance you be sitting there complaining about other Asian countries histories when I say it. Even then you have shown a propensity in this hypothetical to be just be the guy focusing on North Korea or something as a response.
I blame the West (not just the US) for it's share of involvement in Ukraine for example, and not a single one of you wanted to do more than shit on Russia, China, the Soviets, or myself in response.
That moment alone sort of just does it for me where I look at your post, think about that moment in that thread, and don't take your accusations of history seriously. We cant just shit on others histories if we never do the US, Zealot.
You know, maybe Gred was right. XI was/is perfect. Not for the reasons they thought though, but just because you aren't in it.
