This debate about who is worse, is fueled more by personal patriotism and propaganda than any actual facts.

America is not "better" than Europe, and Europe is not better than America. Both have done terrible, inhuman things in their history, and it's not a matter of who is righter or wronger.

American had slavery and the Native American genocide, but Europe had Belgium doing insanely awful behavior in The Congo, Germany starting two World Wars, Great Britain oppressing people in every corner of the planet, and lots of other abuses of various people by various countries, including many countries ferociously oppressing their OWN people. Europe and the rest of the world had the Vikings, the Romans, the Sea People, the Gauls, the Huns, the Khans, the Crusades, and countless other warrior races/nations that slaughtered as many of their neighbors as they could find. America may have committed some egregious sins, but they've only been around for 250 years. The rest of the world has been killing each other for many CENTURIES. And yet somehow, America is the ONLY bad guy?

Every single nation on this planet has their own historical shame. NOBODY has the moral high ground here, so we should all stop acting superior, accept that all humans are horribly flawed, and just shut the fuck up, stop blaming everybody else, and try to clean up our own countries and create a better future. But first we have to acknowledge our own pasts, and stop blaming other countries for the same things we're all guilty of.
