The "america bad" people have a point. The "america bad, Europe good" people are delusional. The US would have to last another 3000 years to even come close to the atrocities committed by Europeans.
That most countries did like centuries ago?
Nice whataboutism though, comrade.
I thought someone might go that route, so I came prepared. Even if we ignore Russia (located in Asia but absolutely culturally European) europeans have been responsible for no less than 6 genocides in the last hundred years.
Europe isn't a country. Its like 50! So my point still stands.
Tell that to the redditor types constantly making US vs europe comparisons. It's either a monolith or it's not, not just when it's convenient.
