We don’t have to go much deeper into this, but I don’t think it’s possible to list many governments that did not commit genocide and human rights oppression.

Nor did I say that there was. But there's a difference when you actively support when a government is committing human rights violations. Every government is flawed. Some are immensely more flawed than others. I can criticize my own government and at the same time recognize that it is far better than what is currently happening with the government of say, North Korea. It's always important to criticize one's own government to keep it from devolving into madness.

Good luck out there in this crazy world we all live in.
