    What’s “cope”? Actually, what are we arguing about? I don’t disagree that those things are true.

    I do disagree that countries can be “good” or “bad” without any other qualifiers such as “at healing the sick” or something. I also disagree that something (or someone) can be only all-good or all-bad, which is the only phrasing you’re using even though you probably also don’t think someone can be all-good or all-bad.

    “If we’re counting colonial times” is also interesting - what, like Jamestown counts as America? or the original 13 colonies? That seems a little bogus as they didn’t even have cybertrucks or toxic waste then.
