minus-squareCowbee [he/him]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·5 months agoI’m not skipping over China. You’re getting upset that someone is correctly calling out the United States. Genocide of Indigenous Americans resulted in 4-8 million murders. American slavery resulted in dozens of millions of deaths and forced labor. The entirety of Iraqi infrastructurw returned to pre-industrial levels specifically to make the Iraqi state more liable to respond to US Demands on false pretenses. 260 million bombs dropped on Laos on mere suspicions of pro-Communist activity. Hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese civilians murdered via napalm, agent orange, and raw gunfire. Unwavering support for Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians via a genocidal Aparthied regime Many massacres of both North and South Koreans during the Korean War, installing a far-right dictator in the Republic of Korea who murdered his own citizens regularly Unwavering support for a fascist, slave-owning regime in Cuba to protect US interests Countless more. Do I really need to go on to illustrate just how evil the American Empire is, and why pulling a whataboutism to distract from this might be seen as insensitive?
