The US has lost any shed of credibility when it comes to human rights or being a lawful state. War murderers go free and journslists go to prison.
US has the most credibility. Europe is great, but they live in a protective bubble offered by the US. Russia and/or China would steamroll them if able to. And those two countries are autocratic. We wouldn't even have a hackernews type thing there.
So just because you don’t like a loud subset of the US... you would rather support autocrat countries like China and Russia that are “quiet” and not vomitous.
What a naive outlook.
it also stands to be said that America doesnt exist as America, instead as a revolving door of loosely defined groups that step up to the levers of power and try their luck.
Its best to understand the actors instead of the machine. Its most often where the problem is.
You can blame the current power-hungry narcissistic wealthy sociopaths who are doing what power-hungry narcissistic wealthy sociopaths can be expected to do, or you can accept that there will always be people who fit that description and try to fix the incentives and checks that they're responding to.
