    You could look at any country in the world and find leaders that were just as bad and even worse throughout history. I think the takeaway should be that shitty people exist. Some of it is a product of the times, some of it just being awful people. Shitty people have and always will exist.

    Edit: With these downvotes it almost seems like y’all thought I was defending them. I absolutely was not defending them. :)

          And then they would have removed them later. Just like all the statues of Adolf Hitler, which no longer exist.

      This is an ml community. Anything that praises the USA or normalizes it (that is, reducing the awfulness) is gonna get down votes.
