Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

    No we are not. You are talking about good and bad because that’s the level you engage with politics.

    I say it’s asenine to attribute moral character to the citizens of a nation of millions unless you’re really prepared to have your glass house targetted.

    Are Americans guilty of its crimes? Should people consider Americans immoral because of all the genocides, slavery, and ongoing mass incarcerations?

      Are you incapable of comparing things? Yes the US has problems. I and others are working to fix them. That doesn’t mean morality is worseless.

      • Applying a moral judgement to millions of people based on the actions of their government is silly.

        If you insist otherwise I’m going to start applying the same standard to you for the crimes of the ameri-anglo empire.
