    Maybe don’t be so offended when people rightly criticize your country. You didn’t choose to be born there.

      I’m not offended. I didn’t even grow up in the US. I just hate the low effort and poor media literacy on social media. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The whole “America bad” is a worthless schtick intended just for virtue signaling.

          In my experience, anyone that has ever said “you need to read more” has either a) no substantive argument to make b) is equally ignorant on the topic at hand. I have yet to be proved wrong, such this lovely example right here. You guys are only interested in grandstanding. Which is fine, grandstanding makes you feel good, so you do you.

            Lmao, cry much? Do you work for the propaganda department of the US or something? Why are you so unbelievably offended that America, “the world police”, has the most blood on their hands?

              I’ve noticed you like to load a lot of emotion in your language. “Cry much” “blood on hands”. I don’t care who has the most blood on their hands. I’d like to see more fact based discussion. Is that…too much to ask? Seems enough to have ruffled a few feathers. I guess I’ll go “cry more” now. Yikes.
