    Aight so listen, this might blow your mind, because I know almost nobody mentions it inside commie circlejerks, but I’m gonna say it anyways:

    No ethical, competent person thinks the US army is morally good. Every time a tankie comes out and talks about how “At least Chinese X isn’t as bad as US Y!”, people roll their eyes. It’s not an argument. They’re both be bad.

      No ethical, competent person thinks the US army is morally good.

      That is insanely twisted when Western world creates a perception of themselves being the only good doers of this planet, the Marvel Avengers and the GI Joes. And they utilise their media, which is 90% of global media, to create an image of only themselves being the arbiters of truth and good doers.

      When YOU say this sentence, YOU directly mean that Western world is immoral, unethical and genocidal, and the “commies” are not the bad people. I am sure you do not mean this though, so your sentence is most likely an attempt at aiding a twisted version of reality. Unintentionally or not, I do not know. But that is precisely what this statement of yours is.

      Both sides have to be equally bad when both have committed similar number of genocides and foreign interventions and committed a similar amount of imperial colonial atrocities, like stealing resources of countries. USA/UK are clearly not the same as China/Russia. No ethical, competent person will think that, but the question is, who do you imply here to be ethical or not? Westerners are ethical?
