    • 2002 - W Bush
    • 2018 - Trump
    • 2019 - Trump

    In contrast:

    • 2024 - Biden

    But sure, keep telling us how Democratic administrations not acting like right-wing criminal shitstain Republicans is “hypocritical”, but deliberately disregarding the vast difference in foreign policy between the two parties so you can screech “America bad!” even when it does the right thing somehow isn’t.

    Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing. -Brandon Sanderson

    Just because someone did something horrible in the past it does not mean we cannot advocate for something good now.

    People can change, bit by bit, moment by moment. Sometimes it might even be for the better.

      The US isn’t going to change. This is how they are. They meddle with the world and have been doing so throughout their history.

      The US isn’t a person though. It is a system that relies on imperialist domination in order to survive. Do you have evidence that the system has fundamentally changed away from that? Because that would be some pretty miraculous evidence.

          US actually supported the nazis initially, and many US companies continued to work with them well into the war. Famously, IBM played a pivotal role in making the holocaust possible. Ford also eagerly collaborated with the nazis, which greatly enhanced its business prospects and at the same time helped Hitler prepare for war.

      USA hypocrisy is theatrics to get to make rules and order everyone around with a sanctimonious attitude.

      As an empire, yes. That doesn’t mean we want American people to suffer (I say this as a European who also thinks European imperialist countries should suffer the same fate)

        I agree with you, but it’s also true that imperialism is way deeper rooted in the American forma mentis than it is in most European.
