That is a long list of shit that still isn't really comparable, so yeah I stand behind my choice here with Kent being the best.
You could make an exhaustive list of terrible actions from any govt currently. It's almost like they are all bad.. Huh go figure. Give a person to much power, and it fucks up their brain.
Edit: I don't think i saw the school of the americas in that list, that should be up there for sure. Iowa writers workshop and USAID could go on that list too, or just cover it all with CIA. Battle of Blair mountain.
How convenient must it be for the US and Europe to keep repeating that to their population to the point we internalize it and parrot it ourselves. That way you won't look for a better system or solution to your problems, you'll just accept them as a "natural part of life".
I.e. the US government is now deporting tourists to a megaprison in El Salvador en masse but hey at least it's not China tiny man square right? I'm saying this sarcastically but it's not targeted at you specifically.
Correct, nothing China has done compares with the magnitude of USA brutality.
