... Welp, this thread start to become too political to my taste, got to throw something to defuse this. I go first

I don't think it's political to talk about the objective practices and standards of a country's government through what they've actually done throughout the years.

Unfortunately, orz, it is one of the cons of being a super nation. You suddenly have responsibility to prevent both downfall of any country and rise of anti nationalist groups, all over the world.
As well as exploitation of weak third world countries, warmongering, spying on literally everything and everyone...
Shades of truth here. Also US foreign policy is very much anti nationalist, although they will work with almost anyone so long as they bend the knee (actual Nazis in Ukraine). The only country that promotes nationalism on a global scale is Russia, because a nationalist government is more likely to leave NATO or the EU. (A good thing imo) The US is fixated on keeping it's spot as global hegemon, but maintaining that position is impossible.

Keyword being objective here.

Well, I just want to light up the mood.

A lot of those stats are cherry picked / flat out wrong. America has a lot of huge outliers just because it is so big and the population is so diverse.
