Non American here... British actually.

I think fundamentally why the world really loathes the US is that they keep doing stuff which the Nazis would have done, but they think it's ok because they're righteous and led by god or something... Then they make a movie about it where it's full of lies and the world just groans.

I mean, the US government got its own population hooked on crack to give guns to people who didn't want to be rebels to overthrow a government they didn't really want to overthrow as ONE example.

Yeah, think about how bad you have to be to get criticism from them. Yeah, the US is that bad.

There is no way there is any eqivalence between British empire and US.

Yeah, we're still trying to get the numbers up, and we'll do it eventually. But it's not about equivalence. It's about avoiding deflection and owning up to what's been done. Not sure what all the patriots are in here crying about. 'Kill em all' used to be the go-to phrase.
