Yeah I'm not even disputing that. I still think I'd rather be an American citizen in America than a Chinese citizen in China. Nothing is as simple as "thing bad therefore nothing good". I'm sure I'd rather be working at an Apple store than I would be working in a mine in the Congo mining rare earth metals for use in phone and laptop batteries used in Apple store products, but that's not because America is morally superior to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
