    Honestly, that gives me hope. That if we ever get our shit together, the world might be a better place despite our worst efforts.

        Yeah, doesn’t Iran also directly fund some of the most irredeemable kinds of terrorists? They definitely kill their own protesting students without remorse. Like Trump intends to.

          Yes, but didn’t you know, it doesn’t matter the kinds of atrocities they are responsible for, if they don’t like the US they are the good guys.

            Honestly, when judging the actions of large organization such as governments it is best not to rely on simplistic “good guy”/ “bad guy” narratives. It might be best to judge each action on its own merit since it might be entirely different parts of the organization performing each action or making each statement.

            Hell, the whole “good guy”/“bad guy” thing barely works on individuals.

                Maybe, but more importantly there are no people or organizations so good that everything they do is good by association nor any people or organizations so bad that everything they do is bad by association.

                  I agree to a point. However there are groups that are all bad, and everyone associated is bad. They are cultural cancer. Also, a lot of countries, organizations, ideological groupings, etc. may not be all bad, the mundanity of evil and all, but their bad actions are such that any good they did was nullified.
