Don't you think there are better, more recent examples of this?

(Oh, I missed the instance I was on lol)

? The most recent one is the ongoing genocide in Palestine that the US and its colony is committing.

No, "israel" isn't a separate entity. It was formed as a general western settler colony in Palestine using british colonization tactics, and has been functioning as an american one.

China has an active genocide, and they have some pretty strong nationalism and propaganda.

Russia is currently brutally invading another country, and they don't even get real elections.

The fact that the US was the only one of the world's major powers you could list as an example doing atrocious shit that also has a history with propaganda, is telling.

Idk man. As far as I understood, the main post is about the US, which the comment you replied to also talked about. And then you're wondering why that person talked about the US and not other countries.
