That was a very narrow window of time, mostly the time between the fall of the USSR ending the Cold War up to 9/11, so about a 10 years period since the end of WW2.

Before that the USA was aiding and fostering violent dictatorships, helping them to perform coups all around if they were amenable to the US's interests (aka: they were anti-commies) like in Latin America, Iran itself, etc.; bombing countries where their right-wing coups failed like in Vietnam during its independence period after French rule, for example.

There were fuckups too but the declared goals were usually not bad. Now declared goals seem bad. The language is the language of hate. It's a big change. and this is not north korea. it's one of the most powerful country and definitely most influential in the world

See for yourself compared to the past https://youtu.be/X6GRMdn8ZD4?t=6

And now tell me it's all the same as before and I'm burying my head in the sand.

Naw, sorry, reading through this thread you're burying your head in the sand; sorry, just calling balls and strikes.

I say that as a person who is out in the streets in the US doing what we can against the current government. But to be honest, we were out in the streets before. The difference is that you were at brunch and didn't notice.

I wasn't asking you.

> But to be honest, we were out in the streets before.

Who is "we"? Do you remember your past lives? If you are fighting against every government when you will realize you should maybe just move to another country?

I'm not american or from US but this reads like mental illness
