    I would argue that the British Empire and Belgium were pretty fucking evil long before the US came into existence.

      After WW2 most of the worlds imperialism, death and destruction and theft has shifted. The main perpetrator went from being Europe to the US. With Europe remaining complicit of course.

        That’s a fair point. The US empire expanded tremendously after all the war profiteering from WW2, which allowed for the evil that we see today.
