    I mean, I don’t necessarily disagree with your points.

    But why aren’t we allowed to be upset about people trying to do bad things to my country that might affect me? Because I was born in a country that does bad things?

    I don’t begrudge the people of China, Russia or the US for their governments actions.

      Who’s stopping you? I pointed out the irony in Europeans, who constructed and benefit from the most brutal imperialist system in human history, presenting themselves as underdogs when threatened by other empires, all of which were targets of that imperialism.
