And should be held accountable, and to high standards. 100% in agreement there! But goodness gracious me, I come from a more interesting part of the world, and certainly not in the top 10 interesting parts of the world, but enough that it feels those who say "America is just as bad! It's just as bad here!", don't have sufficient appreciation (and good on them!) for the atrocities human beings can, and routinely do, inflict upon each other, and the scale at which they do so. There are scales. There are degrees and types and kinds and details. And painting everything binary I feel does not help in making the world better place.
