The US isn't the great Satan, they are quite contemporary satan. Russia, China and Iran are all imperialist, anti democratic and have even worse human rights violations.
You don't have to pick a side, these are all asshats, some more than other though.
As a Chinese American I facepalm every time some other (usually white) American say they "rather live in China"
Bro y'all addicted to porn so much you wont last a day when they upgrade their firewalls and your VPN stops working 🤣
Thats the least contreversial
This is either American cope, pure misinformation, or both. Certainly not an opinion, and easily verifiable nonsense (do you want to do it by number of foreign interventions, coups, murders? You name it and, if it's in the last century, the answers won't be surprising at all). USA #1, right? And yes, no serious person "picks sides", this isn't football, this is geopolitics.
Did you miss the part where they called the US satan and an asshat?
Exactly the kind of take OP was asking for.
