USA

When it's US atrocities

• we should focus on present
• let bygones be bygones
• it was normal during that time period
• it's progressive compared to present day
• it's russian/china propaganda
• they want to divide us
• russia made us do it
• bad people only exist in USA?
• I wasn't involved in that period,why should it matter to me?
• okay it was bad but look at all the good it has done for our country
• because of us, you're in the most peaceful part of history
• thank you for your service
• what you're going to do about it?
• got mine, fuck you

But when talking about its enemies

• bring up the same atrocities from decades and decades ago, over and over again to brigade the arguments.

This is basic US conditioning.
