    What’s your unit of measurement there? I’m guessing whatever it is is “per year”?

      What’s your point? America has a had a few good years out of 250, or 400 if we’re counting the colonial times. The fact that you’re arguing with me about Americas history of being mostly shitty is serious fucking cope.

        What’s “cope”? Actually, what are we arguing about? I don’t disagree that those things are true.

        I do disagree that countries can be “good” or “bad” without any other qualifiers such as “at healing the sick” or something. I also disagree that something (or someone) can be only all-good or all-bad, which is the only phrasing you’re using even though you probably also don’t think someone can be all-good or all-bad.

        “If we’re counting colonial times” is also interesting - what, like Jamestown counts as America? or the original 13 colonies? That seems a little bogus as they didn’t even have cybertrucks or toxic waste then.
