Let me ask you so proud american patriots: when was America great? Was it when you wrecked up the middle east under Bush I and II? When you put in place dictatorships all over the world to assert your dominance? Was it when you trowed napalm at kids in Hanoi 1972? When you burned black students in the sixties because of unfounded hatred of the other? When you throwed away two nuclear bombs in a country that had already lost the war by every single indicator? When you created concentration camps for japanese descendents in WW2? When you turned away boats full of jews coming from nazi germany? When you killed yourselves in a bloody civil war because of a terrible institution such as slavery? Was it when your already big country invaded Mexico in order to get even bigger? Maybe it was when you were killing indians so you could civilize the land?
greatness =/= goodness
- Death penalty. - Everyone allowed to bear arms, because a paper from the 18th century tells so. - Shit welfare/healthcare-system. - Xenophobic/Racist leader - Also proving an overall very conservative population. - Generalise Europeans, because of an Online-Risk clone. - Refusing to use Metric system and Celsius like the majority of the world.
-death penalty still in use all around the world - doesn't Europe have free speech because folk from the 1700s said it was good? Doesn't that mean Europe is also backwards and needs to get rid of free speech to progress? - Welfarism started with Bismarck. From the 1800s. -Austria started out in the 900s, it became a superpower in, the 900s - Trump isn't racist - yards > meters
There is no such thing as a "good" or "evil" organization as large as a nation. Only superior and inferior.
Also a group that flagellates itself over its collective "crimes" has surrendered to the enemy. The moment a culture doubts its superiority it has fallen.
>bombing sandpeople
seems alright even by moralist standards; these are the same people who advocate for the destruction of Western White people through demographic genocide. At least Western White people freed their slaves willingly. If you believe the muh collective guilt meme then surely you want to hold more than just white people accountable.
when will idiots like ranek just admit that they're masochists who want to destroy western civilization
it doesn't matter if you have piles of WMDs, if your leadership and people don't have the will to power to use them then they will simply fall into enemy hands.
also there's no point in defending a culture that has lost its content and become rationalized, albeit for material reasons.
>cultures have ups and downs
cultures rise and fall. there are no historical examples of a culture "coming back" after dying.
