There have always been problems, I will never deny that.
Along with that bad and awful shit, there have also been good things too. We live in a world filled with nuance, very few things in it get to be all good or all bad. Pretending otherwise is what breeds the kind of mindsets behind our worst failings as humans. And I hold the opinion that online social media tends to balloon this issue but that’s a drawn out discussion I don’t feel like diving into at the moment.
I will never blindly defend something as we can always learn something new. Case in point, I’m here trying to understand the positions that have a disgust for liberalism and I’m finding great points. Those conversations require some back and forth, but even in that back and forth an open mind can learn new things and change their opinion. My opinion is certainly changing through these conversations at least.
It’s easy to hate the US if you only look at the bad. There are many unforgivable atrocities. Slavery arguably topping that list.
Yeah? “No longer”? When did it? When it practiced chattel slavery?
