When has the west not chosen the wrong side of history?

To name a few:

  • moon landing
  • banning CFCs
  • German purity law

moon landing

You mean that thing the US only did because of a nationalist pissing contest?

banning CFCs

Who were the first to use them in our appliances, pray tell?

German purity law

Hmmm... okay - I'll give you this one (I sure as hell hope you're referring to the beer laws).

Last time I checked Russian forces were still inside Ukraine, no?

So? The west is supporting the country being invaded, without that aid, Russia would have won the war by now.

The west is supporting the country being invaded

Oh, sure... but not enough to actually score a decisive victory over Russia, eh? You know... that thing the Chechens managed back in the 90s without the most gigantic military logistical machine in the history of civilization sitting right next to it's western border?

Yeah... I don't think that's the flex you think it is, Clyde.

The question was when were they ever on the right side, I gave the most recent example, I don't think you are being as smart as you think you are.

I gave the most recent example

Do you have another one? As demonstrated, your previous claim is a pretty dodgy one.

If overthrowing a democratically elected government and installing a fascist regime in its place is your idea of being on the right side of history then you really need to get your morals checked.
