China, Russia, and the US were not part of the Axis.
Only the Ukrainian nationalist jewish-massacreing banderites fought for the Axis, and the post-2014 Ukrainian government venerates him.
Out of the four, only the Ukrainian nationalists were part of the axis powers.
George washington, franklin, jefferson, madison, all the founders were slave-owning colonizers who explicitly modelled their country after ancient Rome.
It's not a human problem, these were specifically evil people who did not share the same values as the people they murdered and enslaved.
Most countries were not founded in this way.
The US was founded on slavery and genocide / conquest of hundreds of indigenous nations. It's rotten to the core.
The dronie credibility meter:
If it's from a US-aligned country = reliable
US enemy country = unreliable
The US has been the most evil country on earth long before musk arrived.
The author Domenico Losurdo uses the term mutual demystification a lot, especially in Liberalism - a counter history. When two parties accuse each other of being hypocrites, it often ends up showing that they both are.

Only one country has over 800+ external military bases. The rest of the world combined only has ~20.
The US is easily the most evil country in world history.
These are some extremely racist tropes you're parroting.
Some albums I like that are synthwave / vaporwave adjacent.

- Burial - Untrue
- Unkle - psyence fiction

I'm 99% sure its sarcasm.
One thing you notice with all these "my own vibes-based-orientalist" analyses, is that they never have any sources.
George Carlin skit about executing corrupt bankers on live TV
The competition = efficient / spurs invention is mostly a myth.
The peak period of US inventions, was from ~ 1930-1980, when it was forced (by the USSR's rapid growth) to adopt a similar public-planning model, and allocate a ton of resources to public projects. This article gets into it.
There's also the book, The people's republic of wal-mart, which isn't the best, but it does contain one good argument: companies like Wal-mart and Amazon are many times the size of the GDP of even many countries, and they don't compete internally, and use full-scale planning, with information provided at every level. It shows a few cases where companies tried to emulate the "compete = win" by splitting their company into many competing divisions, and of course the companies quickly imploded because of the massive waste of resources.
Another good book on this is CJ Chivers - The Gun. It compares the history around the development of the AK-47 (which was collectively designed and had input from many state-level entities), vs the M16's development, and how these two different development models affected their success.
With Vietnam I think the US protest movement played a significant role in the defeat(the docu Sir no Sir! has a good overview of it), less so with recent US wars. But that's also due to the size and growth of the US police state, it's imprisoning of activists, and it's better ability to minimize the efficacy of protests.
But ya I agree with the US rightward turn since the 1980s, it's union and anti-war movements have been on life support. The historian J Sakai thinks that US unionism fully died by then (especially if you look at stats like strikes per year, which dropped to single digits).
Read and learn from successful revolutions, and the Marxist tradition in general, which correctly identifies both the root problem, and has a wealth of historical experiences for how to defeat it, the correct and incorrect roads taken, and what worked/didn't. Join working-class parties, and organize for our own interests, so that sociopaths who would be happy sacrificing all of us for the sake of profits, don't control society.
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml keeps an excellent study guide here, and I have one here.
ACA was a copy of a republican (mitt romney's) plan, and it entrenches the parasitic middleman insurance industry and forces you to pay them, and them to accept you as customers. The US insurance industry is the largest and most useless money-sucking middleman in the world. In most countries this would be a far-right scheme, but its considered "progressive" by US standards.
