    Yeah, it’s one thing to say that the US flag represents any number of unspeakable horrors - there are any number of unspeakable horrors performed under it, and, for that matter, by the explicit fiat of those associated with it. That’s pretty indisputable, and if someone wishes to characterize the flag as its representation, that’s absolutely within the realm of reasonable arguments.

    It’s another thing entirely to earnestly argue that the fucking Nazis weren’t as bad as the US, and that the US is unrivaled in its atrocities. The US is far from the best state of the modern era - the US is also far from the worst, though that, admittedly, is a bit of damnation by faint praise.

    But the Great Satan has to be the biggest evil in the world, or else they might have to think about their opinions for a moment.

    Critical support for Comrade Hitler, one supposes.

        bloody conflict all over the world for money and oil

        And yet their foreign policy has had some beneficial things for some countries (Japan, Germany, Poland, Baltic Nations).

        Russia and China have never in their history done anything good.
