- whatevsbro 13y agoEvery country is a joke of a country, in case you haven't noticed. The ruling class everywhere lives large on money looted from the general populace.

For most problems in the world, people are quick to point to a certain country, race ethnicity, religion, etc. as the most glaring example or source, when in fact people are the problems. No part of humanity can boast the largest amount of any vice or virtue. As a species, we're just faulty.

- whatevsbro 13y agoWhat I said applies to every single country in the history of the world. Is your point that light looting is better than extreme looting + torture camps? Sure, but it's still looting.
