Because the founding of the USA and its history is a complex thing as a nation its done many wrongs like its contemporaries and forebears but it’s also done a great deal of good. There’s also a bit of “What’s the point?” Being mad about the USA existing is pointless, it’s founding went like almost every nation in human history, with violence lies and political bullshitting. It’s far more productive and less damaging to my mental health to focus on what needs to be fixed
I mean, yeah, just about every state has rotten roots. The problem is that a lot of other states have at least pretended to develop in an honest way - the US is constantly misrepresenting the history of non-whites, though, and pretty much always had. Until actual reparations are given out, and Native Americans have genuine autonomy, im never going to be a fan.
