The US mostly isn't interested in butchering it's own citizens, slavery is the approach we went with À la the U.S. prison system.

We killed far more Indigenous Americans than that. I agree with you on the prison system though.

I hate to break it to you, but US prisons, while maybe worse than Scandinavian ones, are on par with France, and way better than like 70% of the world.

This is not a competition who has it worse. You can acknowledge terrible things that IR does without trying to portray yourself as a victim.

You are conflating issues. As a foregone conclusion the U.S. bombing the sovereign citizens of Iran is acceptable to you, only afterwards are you and other's justifying this by cherry picking recent events. If Iran hadn't just killed protesters, it'd be because they were working on nukes, or because they've launched missiles across borders.

You blind yourself to the dozens of countries around the world doing these things and worse every day while picking and choosing enemies that are acceptable for the United States to attack like al la carte menu items. Justifying those attacks is an after thought.

> on par with France

The US per-capita incarceration rate is ~5x that of France.

French system is quite different from USA one. And the 70% of the world claim is based on what exactly?
