They are risking their lives fighting a genocide that puts them straight at the top of human rights with nothing to gain from it while everyone else is complicit and nodding along.

    So your position is that the good someone does excuses the evil they also do. An interesting position.

    You said that yes the USA did bad stuffs but they still give the most aid to other countries which many of them was destoyed by the US imperial policies as if the aid wipe up all the terrible think the empire did

    I think you've misunderstood - what I said was that the US being the "paragon" of humanitarian aid doesn't excuse the crimes they have committed, much as Yemen's agreement to aid colombia in this should not mean we overlook their history of human rights abuses.

    No that seems to be your position based on our conversation. But you refuse to acknowledge the evils done by the West because they are Ubermenschen.

    Take the US: it’s done undeniably evil things

    I'm not sure how I could be more explicit about acknowledging the evil things done by the US than to say "They have done undeniably evil things". But while I've repeatedly done that, and lauded how Yemen's involvement in this coalition is a morally correct choice, you have repeatedly avoided addressing that Yemen's persecution of queer people is wrong, while falsely claiming that I'm somehow denying the west's evils.

    Yemen comes out on top by simply committing far less evil than the rest.

    by simply committing far less evil than the rest

    So you do agree that they're doing evil things. But you're willing to overlook them, because in your eyes they are doing less of it than other people. While I doubt the strict accuracy of that claim (yemen does a lot of human rights violations and there are many other countries that simply do not have the population to compete with them in volume), I am glad we can agree that their doing good things does not negate the evils they also commit.
