    The evil of other nations though? I’ve heard and read about it, but I’ve barely actually seen any of it. What I have seen is an absolute unending torrent of propaganda being firehosed at me and everybody I’ve ever known for my entire life by the American government.

    Really? Like, putin’s invasion of ukraine? Or the gaza genocide? Or the myanmar civil war and rohingya genocide? Or the sudan civil war? Or the tibetan oppression?

    Like i get it, you hate the propaganda machine feeding you some half-truth and you don’t know what to believe, but still, just because you’ve done some evil under the name of USA doesn’t mean it’s all propaganda feeding.

      I think that’s more a reference to some who think China’s government is just like the US government and never tries to help Chinese society whereas most national governments are in fact trying to improve things the notion that governments are always ineffective is very much an American ideal.
