Yeah, the School of the Americas was all about giving people choice and democracy right? Oh wait, it was actually an instrument to depose democratically elected governments and installing US-friendly bloodthirsty dictatorships instead!
Operation Condor, the lawfare coups of the 2010s...
All in the name of democracy and choice for the peoples affected, right? And they chose to have that interference, right? Napalming Korea to the north of the 38th parallel was their choice, right? Syngman Rhee was the democratic leader of choice for the ones to the south of that parallel, right? Yeah...
> I think you detracted from the OP. Apple's views are on its products. It doesn't care about the rest of the world (i.e android) so your comment it's a bit misplaced.
You mentioned the US being able to vote out bad leadership and abuse of the ruling party. I just responded to that.

What the U.S does to other countries to protect its interests is another story. Of course it sucks to be the little guy, especially when you forget that power still matters in this world and you piss off powerful countries/interests.
U.S does not shy (like all the powerful countries) to say that it will protect its interests regardless what you think is right or wrong.

Oppressing own people, bad. Oppressing other people as long as it's to protect US interests, good. Getting other governments to oppress their own people as long as it's to protect US interests, good.
Got it.
That being said I keep hearing that argument that some people don't like democracy(i.e like the U.S) and would rather live under an authoritan and conservator rule so we should let them be ruled that way. But how could they choose if they are not given a choice? Do women in Afghanistan prefer not to go to school? Let them vote and for that freely. They could simply not go to school after all.
