    Unfortunately I don’t think that person would ever be open to revaluating their preconceived worldview when presented with new facts, and are comforted by believing the ra-ra americana fairytale sold by Hollywood etc even if objective reality shows it to be false, I actually think they illustrates my point about cultural dominance from my first comment quite well

      You’re wrong. The USA is a shit hole country rife with human rights violations.

      But China is absolutely worse.

              Again, no. You’re making incorrect assumptions because you don’t know how to read.

                    All factual sources I can find on google show that the US 's human rights abuses are far more severe and larger in scale than any committed by china, do you have any that prove the contrary?

                    You’re really are just proving my initial point that the reason you(and so many others) think china is somehow worse than the US isn’t based on any objective factual evidence, rather it’s just from vibes you’ve absorbed from US media and culture.

                    So you still can’t provide a source of your own?

                    For example: I could tell you some bullshit about vaccines and autism, or trans women in sports, and have you “do your own research on google” and you could find tons of “sources” from dubious authors and probably fascists. Do you even hear yourself? “Do your own research” is literally chud tactic 101, you sound like a Nazi.

                    And since we are talking sources: https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/us_atrocities.md

                    There you go that is a comprehensive list of documented US atrocities comprised by the very creator of the software you are currently enjoying use of. Please go ahead and show me even some state department approved drivel that comes even CLOSE to the amount of human suffering caused by the US, I’ll wait.
