Are you actually going to play that game?

What about the US's long and nasty history with slavery, which was abolished decades before in Britain than in the US? What about the US's backwards-ass current social policies in comparison to Britain? And even with all that, the US is still more progressive than many places (even if it's behind the curve with the western world). Britain is several steps ahead of us...I don't get how you can call them "backwards" tbh.

Try looking at what the country and its people are TODAY, not in history. If you do that, you'll find enormous faults with just about everyone.

i didn't call them backwards, that was someone else in a different subthread. i wouldn't use that language even if i agreed with the judgment.

that said, i think it's pretty rich of you to call me out for looking at the past, when that's literally exactly what the post i was replying to did. i don't think the US is perfect - i think it's deeply, deeply flawed, with a long history of repression and injustice and conquest and colonialism, which i reject and i criticize. but what does grind my gears is seeing someone from a country with a strong, rich history of oppression and injustice and conquest criticize the US & defend Britain in a way that completely elides every bit of that history, simply ignores it and leaves it behind in favor of self-righteous condemnation.

A large part of my point is that people are in fact talking about the countries TODAY, rather than trying to play tit-for-tat with what our ancestors (who, notably, were not us) did. And right now, Britain is more progressive than the US.

The US has a very noble history of breaking free of oppression and pursuing equality, but we're royally fucking it up right now, and since right now is when I'm alive, and the consequences of right now will affect my children and their children, right now is what I'm concerned with. When I look at the past, I see mistakes that we can all learn with, but I don't think the mistakes of the past implicate who I am today because none of those people were me.

not to repeat myself here, but i still wasn't the one who started talking about the past. the person i responded to was also talking about the past, and talking about how the mistakes of yesterday implicated what america is today, and are part of the reason it's backward and not progressive. my response was in the context of someone talking about the past.
