Perfection is the enemy of good.
Ok, historically some political leaders felt that raping all brides before their wedding night was a great honor bestowed upon the family. Egyptian royalty had slaves, family members and pets murdered or buried alive with them when they died.
Human history is full of it's leaders doing shitty and horrendous things.. We can either sit here and microanalyze whatever country or set of leaders we want to single out or just recognize that historically everybody in power was a piece of shit, and look for ways to do better and make our leaders do better.
Does anyone here think that the United States and the world is better off with Donald Trump in power as opposed to Kamala Harris? If your answer to that question is " but Kamala supported Israel too hard".... Then my original comment about perfection and goodness is for you.
Perfection is the enemy of the good. I don't know why you are obsessed with child rape.....
My comment was responding to another comment (which referred to heads of state). I wasn't responding to the original post. You then responded to my comment which was a sub comment to the post that I guess you really wanted to respond to....Try to keep up.
And in what way are America's presidents unique in these atrocities among world leaders of their era? Other than "America Bad" is trendy right now?
They do genocide and colonialism and slavery and they are settlers
And we're paying special attention to American slave owning child diddlers who have been dead for 200 years and not British or Canadian or French or German or Russian slave owning child diddlers who have been dead for 200 years because...?
Because settlers are always more evil
OP is probably an American, it's that simple.
Be the change you want to see. Post memes about past politicians from other countries. I will upvote them.
