    People don’t choose which country they are born in(to). I also despise their exceptionalism, but that doesn’t mean I am inclined to feel like I am better than anyone else based on where I was born.

      People’s “value” isn’t baked into them at the moment of birth. Being a shitty person might not be that person’s “fault” but they can still be an objectively shitty person and the reasons don’t always matter.

        Not sure how that relates to the point I made. That said, the reasons do matter, otherwise you can’t start looking for potential solutions.
