      It’s wild how few words one would have to substitute for that same page to be about the USA.

      Edit: not all that wild, more normalized, banal and infuriating.

        Maybe, but does that make any country better?

          I don’t care, I’m not trying to make that point.

          The point I’m trying to make is I live in a country that has no leg to stand on when it comes to pointing fingers. A country that made blood sacrifices of over a million people so that a few uber wealthy shit sandwiches could be more wealthy and powerful. I’m not worried about what’s going on in China because I’m suffering under an authoritarian regime on this side of the Pacific.

          Maybe if people who constantly whine about China would help me change things here, I would have the ability to change things there.

            I don’t know where you live, but I agree we should never be whining about a country and its people. To critisize the government if there’s a reason, but never the people. A country’s government and its people are not the same.
