    Didn’t USA come up with both characters? One in the 1930s and one now? More of a sign of the times I say.

      USA participating in WW2 is one of the greatest net goods in history at the cost of millions of lives. Cant argue it was citizens sent into involuntary massacre. Neither can you argue how the most evil and horrible empires got dismantled then or eventually.

        You never were. Genocide of native Americans directly to 300 years of African slavery.

          I meant to say so fucking great. I understand why I’m getting down voted. That was the point I’m making. This country has always been a worthless fucking shit hole since day one.

          Actin like the US isnt the only country to kill natives and have slaves. Every country is bad. We just have to try and be less bad as time goes on. But that seems almost impossible with who runs countries.
