    All states are bad, but if we’re talking about which ones are arguably better or worse on the world stage…

    “USA USA USA, WE’RE NUMBER 1!”

    Proudly colonizing for 250 years?

      Seems to be what people do. America isn’t the first or the only one. People are shit is that your argument?

        That’s actually a statistical error.

        Most people are alright. Power-hungry individuals responsible for colonialism are outliers and should not have been counted (or allowed to reach/stay in positions of power)

        “All people are colonizers. Those who aren’t colonizing aren’t people” - colonizer brain in action.

      Power for things like colonizing is the best indicator of a successful state. End state power. I like that the original was intended as a slight against anarchists. States keep projecting that vertical energy.
