Isn't the aim of the game to make US look bad?
The reason the US looks bad is because the US is bad. You don't need to aim very high... I mean, you don't need to aim at all, or put any effort into it. Just let the US be the US and it already does all the looking bad for you.
The US does look bad. There is no make involved. The US homocide / gun deaths numbers are en par to some failed states or those with civil or actual war.
Your argument would be illustrated if this post included europe, as the title claimed it would.
Amazing, huh, how comparing the US to other modern civilised countries makes the US look bad?
I wonder what that means...
Maybe Europe is just too good. It's suspicious. What are they hiding under all that not being murdered.
Plenty of shitty politicians.
Ok, so the US is only much worse than the majority of EU countries.
That better?
