You are right on the point about the list containing internal repression and incidents from before 1945, which should be discounted. I will not pull the list of post-1945 'interventions', but again we are in agreement that it is still a substantial list.

On your other point, I respectfully disagree.

I guess I should have put it in the context I was thinking of: which historical hegemon was preferable?

My sense is that being a hegemon seems to involve such harms and interventions, and the US hegemony was especially vast. So I'm viewing things in terms of that scale.

(If a non-hegemon had done that list, they would be public enemy number 1)
