How does criticizing America ever, or at all, equal "blame America first"?
every land has been invaded/occupied/taken over at some point in history. it is human nature. deal with it.
It's human nature to be a country and invade other countries? How come all that living in peace with neighbours stuff? How come America is so warlike?
Oh, maybe because it was never invaded/occupied/taken over. Maybe because you haven't got the faintest fucking idea what it's like to have done to you what you do to others. Not really, and not at scale.
3. I didn't fucking enslave anyone. nobody alive today in the US killed any native americans or owned any slaves.
Oh, don't worry, otherwise you could just claim it's "human nature", huh? If anyone needs further confirmation for George Carlin's claim that "Germany lost WW2, fascism won it", then one doesn't need look further than this whole "being a fearful aggressor with nothing but BS for arguments is human nature" thing. That's one straight copy if I ever saw one.
America despite its many faults has been an overwhelming force for freedom and wealth throughout the world. A thorough cataloging of such good deeds could take years to compile.
Yeah, it's literally impossible to resist being free and wealthy when the saints come marching in. Nevermind that even in America itself anyone but the rich has been stagnating, if not declining for the last 30 years, much less the rest of the world. All those free trade agreements, all those credits which only serve to undermine American power and give away free opportunities.
