All that is true.
Howver.
Given the choice, I would much prefer to live in the US (or US-dominated/sponsored West) than in China, Russia, Middle East etc. US has better economic, legal and political systems. It doesn't discriminate against foreigners or religions, allows foreigner people and companies to compete in the markets and make enormous amounts of money, it has one of the most transparent and stable political systems in the world (which allows immigrants to participate in partially, and 2nd generation immigrants completely).
Sure, the US is not perfect, but that's why I support the US and am in favor of boycotting China (and other less-free countries).
- BLKNSLVR 8y agoYour view of the US seems a bit filtered through rose-coloured glasses, but I agree with your fundamental point: If it came down to choosing sides, I wouldn't be defecting to China or Russia. But I won't, ever, outsource my critical thinking.
