I think it was pretty great back when slavery was legal and women couldn't vote.

 

GG America. Let's make America great again. Lol.

 

Whoa now. Trump may be an ignorant fatass, but our country is the greatest nation to have ever existed.

1. We give more money in foreign aid to third world country than anyone else, more than double of the 2nd greatest contributor, England.
2. America creates up to 30% of global GDP
3. We were one of the principle nations to drive space exploration
4. Our contribution to both WW1 and WW2 greatly tipped the scales in favor of the Allies.
5. Speaking of military, we militarally protect most of our allies, eliminating their need to fund any modern military force. (Keeping in mind these countries now with no military were the ones who caused both WW1, and WW2)
6. America provides 31% of all global research and development

These are just a couple of examples, but the list is near limitless. You cannot impose todays morality and ethics to a society which existed in a different time. To counter your examples

- In the early times, Western colonialism decimated the NA population. Countries such as Spain, France, England, Netherlands, and Portugal committed the same acts, except on a worldwide scale. It was a different time then and we cannot judge it with todays eyes accurately.

So has every other nation that has ever existed. Civilization itself is destructive on nature, a civilization you willingly take part of. Do you boycott products that causes harm to the environment, if not you are just as complicit. The solution of the planet is to go back to living in huts on the side of a hill.

Slavery was the norm of humanity since warfare, America doing it, while wrong, is not something one can accurately solely blame on the country. The discrimination henceforth is not forgivable, but it also does not diminish our "greatness" as a nation it diminishes our principles as a people. (Same way torturing people does now)

So has every other nation engaging in warfare in history. I've always disagreed with the wars in Afganistan / Iraq - But however, if looking back on them in 100 - 200 years we see it's a positive thing that strengthed our country, then you can't help but argue that it's potentially good to expand influence in the world. Is not the goal of a nation to grow and become more powerful?

Are you educated enough on history to know we've had ignorant pompous populists candidates before? History overall shows us they don't get much done, nor leave much of a lasting effect on the nation in the view of long history.


If America did not exist, this world would look vastly different.

 

Doubt it, American Military is the reason Japan has a secure nation.

That being said, there is no way a Japanese individual has any standing to criticize any other country ever for the way they behaved in the past. Japan is responsible for it's own mind boggling atrocities.

 

Our lord and saviour, President Trump, has just secured us many memes to come for the next four years.
