i can't say i am 100% knowledgeable about the state of the u.s. right now, but the stuff i do know is still fucked up. no matter how broad my perspective gets, its still going to be there. while the states is obviously a better place to be than the sudan, pointing that out doesn't change its faults, it can still be criticized where there is a place for it, which there obviously is.
and the second bit of your post was just seemed pointless, so i felt like pointing that out.
