> Otherwise you'd need to apologize for the abject horror of your contributions to the world just because someone someone who works with you or studied with you or lives close to you happen to commit a heinous crime.

I mean, you are responsible for what your neighbor does in your name. Americans are absolutely responsible for this kind of behavior.

It's not hard to simply shut down these deployments, but americans will never do it. That would be tantamount to admitting that they've been swallowing and vomiting propaganda for 75 straight years.

No, you really aren't. That idea makes absolutely no sense at all. My neighbor is responsible for his own actions, and that's it. He wasn't following orders, no one asked him to do any of that, and surely he didn't ran his plan though the homeowner's association. He decided to break the law, and that's on him, and exclusively on him.

Extrapolating anything from this is idiotic.
