“So...who are the ‘good’ guys here?”
Welcome to What-Aboutism Friday.
A patriot hero returns to his homeland at grievous risk to his life and is murdered by the fascist regime....but my uncle was run over by a bus.
No, my point is that we don’t have the moral authority anymore to judge other countries for things that we ourselves are doing. It makes the moral criticisms meaningless and powerless and it begs the question if you really have a problem with the persecution and murder of political adversaries why not start here at home BEFORE criticizing another?
Believe me this is a huge problem for our government. The very thing that made America a dominant world power is that we were perceived as good, we were the good guys. And because of that goodness we had a superior quality of life for the average bloke and our present government is busy destroying the very key to our success in the name of “democracy” Sad times.
