    You could look at any country in the world and find leaders that were just as bad and even worse throughout history. I think the takeaway should be that shitty people exist. Some of it is a product of the times, some of it just being awful people. Shitty people have and always will exist.

    Edit: With these downvotes it almost seems like y’all thought I was defending them. I absolutely was not defending them. :)

      The US Empire is definitely one of the worst States to exist in history, though, consistently.

        Can’t deny that. The ratio of good/bad presidents is definitely abysmal.

      This is an ml community. Anything that praises the USA or normalizes it (that is, reducing the awfulness) is gonna get down votes.
