    Oh wow, turns out politicians are fallible human beings, just like every other person.

    If you follow the philosophy that humans are inherently evil, that’s fine, but don’t make out like every US president ever has been somehow unique in this regard.

      The point is the job of us president requires “evil” due to its structural alignment and how the country functions.

      The US isn’t uniquely evil among settler colonial states, but it is a settler colonial state. That’s inherently going to be worse than a non-settler colonial state.
