- grandalf 11y agoIt is absurd to take extreme practices done by others and use them as evidence of our own character. Much of the pro-US propaganda points out bad things about other nations or their leaders (note the recent "Why are China's cities flooding?" headline in the Economist) as a way of making Americans not question their own way of life.
