So why claim that America wants freedom at the expense of everyone else?

• spoiler 4y ago
  But hasn't the American government constantly meddled in other countries' affairs and justified it using freedom/democracy to its own people? I don't want to be insensitive, but the whole 9/11 thing is such hypocrisy. They call it a terrorist attack, but America has been and is the terrorists to a substantial portion of the world. Claiming otherwise is just ignorant

    Russia has "filtration camps" right now. China commits genocide against the Uyghurs. I'd say _that's_ a baseline for calling someone a terrorist. USA is marginally better.

      China dubiously rounded up an enormous number of Muslims often on extremely tenuous or nonsensical suspicion of being separatists, and released the vast majority of them, of not all of them, two or three years ago. The US killed six million Muslims in the war on terror. edit: so for perspective, only 13.5 million Uighurs exist in the world, and the vast majority survived the hardship and imposition China unleashed on them in a fairly brutal Sinoization campaign meant to stop a separatist movement that was using terrorism. The US killed 6 million Muslims to respond to 9/11, and virtually none of them were of the nationality or related to the people who hijacked the planes, who came from a close ally of the US. Instead, we killed Iraqis.
