@boudinMan that's very black and white. No one is saying the US is pure evil, but it's not perfect, it's not the greatest in everything.
There might have been a "great" time in the US for wealthy white people, but it sure as hell wasn't the case for black people for most of US history.

@basilfawlty89 Even for the middle & lower classes though, wage growth has stagnated while healthcare & housing costs have skyrocketed over the past 50 years or so. The civil rights advances we've seen have been incredible, but in some economic terms, life has gotten shittier for everyone who's not filthy rich.

@boudinMan not to spoil the right wing version of history, but you are aware most of the troops who fought against Hitler were Soviets right? Not Americans. Literally the army who stormed Berlin were part of the Armenian SSR.

@basilfawlty89 yeah, because hitler attacked russia... duh.

@boudinMan no shit, which was part of Nazi ideology since the beginning. They hated Marxism. The point is this whole thing of "we America saved the world from Nazism singlehandedly" is absolute propaganda and horseshit.

@basilfawlty89 nobody said anything about singlehandedly. the fact is that without the u.s. we'd all be speaking german now.
