    Yeah. Go tell that to the people/slaves of the countries I mentioned.

    As I said, USA is no good, but it’s not the worst.

    You don’t seem to understand the meaning of “worst”.

    “Bad” is absolute and can be judged with just the USA.

    “Worst” is relative and you have to consider the other ones.

      Maybe KSA, Qatar. Dubai, UAE, are as bad or worse, if you’re poor. Not having resided or visited, it’s pointless speculation.

      You don’t seem to understand the meaning of “worst”.

      The “Worst Country” is the country that the US Media tells us is the worst, as measured by US Think Tanks and US Epsionage Agencies and US Propaganda Mills.

      FYI, the person you’re arguing with is from .ml, so good luck getting them to admit that the us is better than any other country, despite any and all available evidence to the contrary.

        You people are seriously disgusting. No wonder minorities don’t feel safe in the Fediverse.

          Oooh yay! My first encounter of the day with an unhinged ml idiot.

          Tell me, brainiac, how does pointing out that you’re on an instance known for denying basic reality to make arguments set in a fantasy land about how places like Saudi Arabia (who is actively enslaving people and working them to death to build their stupid mega-boondoggle) is worse than the US make minorities feel unsafe? Or are you mad because you can’t actually support the assertion you’re making with evidence sourced from someplace other than your ass?

          Edit: you’re just using minorities as a shield for your awful positions.

              Because you can’t support your stance, we know

              Also, I hope you know the rest of us are disgusted at the way you choose to use minorities as a shield for the intellectually lazy arguments you peddle.

              There’s a reason why you won’t answer the question, and we both know it

          Brother you are cooked in your own juices. The fediverse is by far the most accepting and diverse large social platform I am aware of. And for somebody from ML to accuse the rest of us of being intolerant is a real hoot. Spin up a new profile on a less psychotic instance and people might be willing to engage with you.

              So pointing out that other countries are worse than the USA is whitewashing the crimes of the USA? Don’t hurt yourself moving those goalposts because you can’t support your argument

          Literally, “you registered your account on the wrong instance so you’re the devil”.

          There is no end to the bigotry in some people’s brains.

      And when you compared the atrocities comited, it doesn’t even scale close to everything the US has done and is currently doing.

      Also tell me who’s the one that profits from the slavery in Saudi-Arabia and supports it fully?

      You seriously think I just considered what the US did without comparing it to the other countries you mentioned?
