    Honestly, we should rely on solid evidence. Exceptional claims require exceptional evidence.

      That’s the thing. They aren’t exceptional claims. Would you like a list of democratically elected governments that have been toppled by the US gov’t?

        Is it from the last fifty years? Because if it’s Venezuela, Nicaragua, etc thats all agreed on. If you’re going to refer to that, then I get to apply the same logic and find fault with every other country in the world–we don’t get to pick and choose who we like. It doesn’t work like that. This is still an extraordinary claim for an event that happened last year.

          Now you’re getting it, no country has clean hands, however America for sure has the bloodiest and most recent record of fuckery.

            “america had the bloodiest”- haha good one. North Korea, Russia, the Uyghuirs in China, and a couple dozen other countries would like a word. I love the selective outrage on this platform.
