    I feel like in a lot of ways the US dominated world order is/was a lesser of 2+ evils… We might be about to find out what the greater ones are :/

    Based on what metric, exactly? Vibes? White supremacy?

      When the Americans came to put up a base in my country, we didn’t have to hide our women like when the Soviets did. They also let us travel and usually don’t shoot our prime minister.

        So vibes.

        Also, even if it was true that the USA had better social mobility, that doesn’t make it the lesser evil for dominating the rest of the world, now does it?
