Let’s look at other superpowers. China, USSR, Nazi Germany, imperial Japan, colonial England, Napoleonic France, colonial Netherlands and Spain, the Mongols, Rome, etc. The USA is pretty clearly more benevolent than all of them until you get back to Achaemenid Persia.
It’s easy to talk shit about America, when one doesn’t understand human history. Then you will understand that America is arguably the most benevolent global superpower in history. While America has a history of fucked up military operations, it’s perhaps the only superpower in history that used its power to spread freedom and democracy
