This is all American stuff. What about British, German, French, Russian, Japanese, Chinese atrocities and coverups? God knows there are terrible secrets along them all.

Very few survive, in my experience.

Hell, just look back a bit for the shit done in the open.
I submit King Leopold the 2nd of Belgium. In Belgium he’s known as “the builder king” because he spent so much of his own money to build parks and civic buildings and such.
Money that was acquired through what was described at the time as Crimes Against Humanity.

King Leopold the 2nd of Belgium.
described at the time
Hmm… I wonder when these…
Leopold II was the second king of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909, and the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908.
Oh that’s not too long ago. “Sole owner of the Congo Free State” sounds like a contradiction tbh

It’s less whataboutism and more a comment on how you should be at least mildly distrustful of any government
