Lots of these are valid additions some of them absolutely aren’t. North Korea? Yeah their gov sucks more but the evil shit is limited largely to North Korea. The scale is way smaller than the bad shit the USA has done in the past. I mean the USA is largely what fucked up North Korea in the first place. And Israel has done bad shit but the scale is so much less than America’s proxy wars and again a lot of that was enabled by the U.S. government

Like you need to account for all the additional deaths from the installation of pro-U.S. dictatorships in Latin America (particularly Chile, Argentina, Guatemala, and El Salvador) and Asia, and for the deaths in the Korean War, Vietnam war, Iraq war, etc

This isn’t even some “murica evil” shit either there is nuance the USA has done good things and bad things but like you do genuinely need to weigh the bad things correctly

Roman Empire has pros and cons, like America. It committed genocides like that of the Jews or of the Gauls, and it had slavery, but its advanced infrastructure and stability allowed for unprecedented flourishing around the Mediterranean

And South Africa feels like a weird pull specifically in relation to the United States considering that apartheid was heavily informed by Jim Crow segregation and the reservation of native Americans.
