Do people just do that? Do people just go “eh, I’ve had enough, maybe I’ll just turn my brain off for a while”.

No, because the most brutal government in the world is the United States’.

The United States used black children as alligator bait, allowed and encouraged dogs to rip humans' flesh from their bones and eat it, until they died, made black mothers nurse their infants so whites could play "Hit the N****r Baby" with baseballs that were aimed either at the head, or stomach so they would vomit. This was before portable cameras, microphones and video recording devices were widely available. I'll posit USA probably did it first.

The United States is pretty bad, especially for being a supposedly rich country. But no, it’s not the most brutal.
Even though I would not travel to the USA under any condition, if I have to choose between USA, north Korea, Iran, or some other random authoritarian country such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, sudan or somalia, I’m going to USA. Even though I’m a non-gay male.

Go tell that to the black people living there that have been brutalized for generations. Or maybe to people living in countries that was destabilized by it. This pales in comparison to the contries you named, combined.
Hell, go see what they did in North Korea during the war.

Yeah. Go tell that to the people/slaves of the countries I mentioned.
As I said, USA is no good, but it’s not the worst.
You don’t seem to understand the meaning of “worst”.
“Bad” is absolute and can be judged with just the USA.
“Worst” is relative and you have to consider the other ones.
