Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing. -Brandon Sanderson

Just because someone did something horrible in the past it does not mean we cannot advocate for something good now.

People can change, bit by bit, moment by moment. Sometimes it might even be for the better.

The US isn’t going to change. This is how they are. They meddle with the world and have been doing so throughout their history.

The US isn't a person though. It is a system that relies on imperialist domination in order to survive. Do you have evidence that the system has fundamentally changed away from that? Because that would be some pretty miraculous evidence.

Except that history consistently shows that the fascist burgerland regime is always on the wrong side of history.

Besides maybe the second world war.

US actually supported the nazis initially, and many US companies continued to work with them well into the war. Famously, IBM played a pivotal role in making the holocaust possible. Ford also eagerly collaborated with the nazis, which greatly enhanced its business prospects and at the same time helped Hitler prepare for war.

USA hypocrisy is theatrics to get to make rules and order everyone around with a sanctimonious attitude.
