    Centuries? The School of the Americas is open today, under the Trump admin, just as it was under the Biden admin. I don’t have to dig into history at all to discuss the varied atrocities the US is currently responsible for. This isn’t just history, it’s current affairs.

    The United States never has been the beacon of democracy and human rights it claims to be. And it sure as fuck was never the greatest country in the world. It’s an authoritarian cesspit run by corporations and fueled by the destruction of the environment and repression of smaller nations. There are dozens of countries that are better in any metric than the US, and China is the least of them. Even the UK does better than the US on every metric, including personal freedoms and right to privacy, and they’ve been run by a conservative government for decades.
