The USA is just as bloody as its parent, the UK, and they’re both as bad as other nations with an Imperial past.
Or, you know, damn near every single empire or powerful ruler throughout all of human history. The Greek golden age was only possible thanks to slaves working the fields, Rome was similar in this regard.
Eastern nations weren’t any better, read up on ancient Chinese culture and all the fucked up shit they did.
Same goes for India, hell they’re still trying to end child marriage but still represent like 20-25% of all child marriages in the world.
People love to dog on America, and I’ll be happy to point out all the historical examples, but the truth is this is more a symptom of the human condition and less about a nation. Look at the other countries on earth and you’ll find plenty of evidence that evil isn’t isolated to one nation, people, culture or time period.
But only after massive changes that usually but not always required massive amount of wars and/or societal collapse. A prime example is France wherein the Ancien Regime was only truly ended by the double tapping that was the French revolution and Napoleonic era, hell even the fucking Russian empire was more open to change than the Kingdom of France.

It’s universally a human thing.
At least some of them have largely left it in the past
Like who?
Well Germany hasn’t done any US inspired racial segregation in quite a while now.
That’s globalisation trend. Other than that Germany supported(or even participated) the US during and after their crimes, same with Israel.

UK managed to buy every slaves freedom before other countries thought ending slavery was cool
But, you still have a parasitic royal family latched upon you like an enormous tick.
You win some, you lose some.
More offended by the nonces in the family tbh, but I guess you can complain about that too.
That’s why I said “as other nations with an Imperial past”, which would include China, India, Rome, Aztecs, and so on.
My ancestors were Aztec and Spaniard, and we’re the best at fucked up shit, just admit it. None of you can match
(this is not a joke, for real)
