    Assholes get all offended when people stand up to their assholery.

    Horoshima was hit with an atomic bomb. (OK, technically speaking the A-Bomb is a nuclear bomb.)

    That meme could also include Germany, although Germany luckily surrendered before we had the chance to use the A-Bomb.

    The current situation in Detroit, and how it happened, has been discussed in detail in several threads here. IIRC at least one thread is dedicated specifically to Detroit.


    Big government had little to do with the decline of Detroit. No doubt the government of the state of Michigan and the city of Detroit must shoulder some blame, but many people see "big government" as the federal government. The UAW got "too big for its britches" and pushed union wages way too high. The Big Three (TBT) automakers got lazy and were designing and making crap cars, the late '70s could be an arbitrary time line, and they failed to take the foreign competition seriously. (Yes, many of the foreign imported cars from the '60s were "tin cans" and "jokes," but TBT should've been paying attention as foreign car companies began improving their products). And of course there are many other factors (find the threads for details).

    1. The wording of the question is important. Asking college students who is responsible for the most evil in history is different from simply asking them who is responsible for the most evil. You also have to realize that a nation changes historically, and that there is a difference between a nation and its past or current regimes. For example, Russia no longer kills its own people like that. You also have to define evil. Is it number of deaths? Because if it is, Russia hasn't executed one of its own in over 20 years, while the US remains in the top 5 nations in terms of capital punishment numbers. Also, Mao Zedong was responsible for between 40 and 75 million deaths in China between 1949 and 1976. So would he be responsible for the most evil? Or do we say that of China specifically?
    2. Maoism and Stalinism are not merely Marxism. They are offshoots of Marxism that are anti-revisionist and dictatorial, and while Marxism–Leninism remains the official philosophy of ruling parties in China, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam, it is currently undergoing some reform (at least in China and Cuba). Regardless, this is a far cry from other forms of Marxism, and is certainly different from the social democracy and democratic socialism you find in the West, whether in Europe or the Americas. In other words, anything resembling Marxism today is far removed from Lenin's ideas, and much of the socialism we see is actually a revisionist platform that only borrows from Marxist ideas.
    3. None of this absolves America's wrongdoings in the world since after WWII, which are numerous and significant.

    Annnd, if you assume that having refugees come into the country means that the country is going to be turned into a pile of rock and goatshit then not only are you a racist but you are an idiot.

    I think you are confused. This is not a conservative meme. Conservatives have been attacking intelligence and education for decades. And they have never truly been about morals. Otherwise they wouldn't discriminate against women, minorities, gays, religion, etc.
