I really like this piece. So many good paragraphs.
Especially the end, and specifically:
> The United States has repeatedly failed and continues to fall short of its ideals but has shown a greater sense of self correction than almost any other. In China you cannot talk about most of history, while in the United States there are constant reminders about failures and how to apply those lessons.
- draw_down 8y agoI don't think I can agree with it. We completely ignore our biggest mistakes and failures, for example it's still not acceptable to admit that the Iraq war was a total disaster and our biggest foreign policy mistake in decades.
- thatfrenchguy 8y agoYeah, that really transpired during the Russian meddling debate when every media was reminding how the US interfered in everyone’s elections.
- num3ric 8y agoA comparison of the same order could be transposed to the USA and Germany.
