The US Government is the most evil entity that has ever existed in known history. Nothing has ever had as much contempt for the world as well as its own people. Nothing has ever believed so arrogantly in its own lies. Its end will be catastrophic.

This is a deranged take. Just in the past century, we've had King Leopold and his administration of the Congo, the Soviet Union under Stalin, Germany under Hitler, and Cambodia under Pol Pot. Woke America doesn't even crack the top 50.

What is deranged is that since 1946, the United States has killed at least 20,000,000 people. In every corner of the world. In dozens of wars and conquests. Having absolutely no legitimate basis. And treats it's own people hardly better than slaves.

That’s less than the Chinese people killed in two years by the Great Leap Forward alone.

How many South American countries did China invade? How many Middle Eastern ones? How many in Polynesia? How many cold wars and color revolutions? How many gladio terror plots did China do?

I see that the conversation has shifted from number of people killed, a topic that you picked up, to the number of countries invaded. From where I'm sitting, this seems like excessive cognitive dissonance.

Why do stupid people insist on trying to discuss everything? What happens when you invade a country? When you overthrow its legitimate government? Flood it with weapons. Blockade it with sanctions? What happens, smart guy?

Imo post 1946 US foreign policy, while immoral at times and 95% self-serving, still utilizes a form of military *offense* that is more efficient & moral than any other historical great power. #1 driver of this is Rule of Law as sovereign vs autocratic leader as sovereign.

You are living in a society in the late stages of a complete collapse of rule of law into pure who/whom and don't even see it or can't acknowledge it.

It seems much that way to the reactionaries and I see their argument. Read plenty of Moldbug too. I just think at end of the day, in US system the Rule of Law > Leader and that is a system I’d prefer (and I think 70%+ of the world prefers) vs the Chinese alternative

Disagree strongly the idea that "rule of law" is even possible ("laws" don't rule - men do) but even the fiction of "rule of law" is dead after a century of #manipulatingProceduralOutcomes
Arguing its virtues is like talking about the benefits of true Communism

We just saw it work with Trump. Biggest would-be autocrat potus in 100+ yrs and the institutions held ground. Eg Imagine Trump/Comey ‘Go easy on Flynn’ dinner in China. Would CCP-Comey say ‘no’ to Xi the way Comey did to Trump? Rule of Law allows Comey to feel safe defying Trump.

You're joking right? You're holding up Flynn's treatment as an example of "rule of law"?
