But it was never ever good to begin with. America has always been the label of a colonial project.
Weighing only the bad you'll find no where on Earth is good.
Historically it should be obvious that "America" is much more evil than good for the vast majority of people who have come in contact with it. This is no less true in modern times.
If by "no where on Earth is good" you mean "no country on Earth is good" then literally yes, that's like my thesis as a human lol. If the only thing you take away from my entire existence is "all states are bad" then I can die happy.
Fair enough, I personally try to be more optimistic and focus on the positives while acknowledging the problems. But as long as you aren't deluded into thinking one nation holds a monopoly on negative aspects I can respect that.
