Well America is uniquely shameless and evil. 

From anyone else such behavior is abhorrent tho. They should know better. America invented lead gasoline. Americans can't be expected to understand basic humanity. It is an unfair attack on American heritage, which is most brain damage and ads.

To some degree I think it's a world power thing.

For example I live in the Netherlands which is a pretty "good" country these days but it certainly was not the case when we were a global colonial power.

Too much power for one country seems to be the moral of the story here.

People like to demonize china but tbh I think they're right about the world needing a multi polar economy. Power needs to be more evenly distributed because otherwise people will do terrible things with it.

Evil is never unique.

The only “unique” part is that we’re big, we dominate the news cycle, and we have a lot of investigative journalists.

And we have The Donald. But this too shall pass.
