      Unironically yes. The American civil war was fought over whether slavery should be permitted. Slavery is objectively bad, thus fighting to get rid of it made the country better.

      Not to mention the revolutionary war, civil rights movement, etc. It doesn’t take much US history knowledge to know this.

        You voted for a genocider. I love people like you IRL. They can afford to be very nice by voting to externalize their country’s violence. You were ready to throw foreigners under the bus, you didn’t care your party of choice were supporting bombing of civilians, well, as an European, I’ll campaign not to allow refugees from the US. Enjoy your own medicine, scum

            Your problem is that you’re too brainwashed into inherent suppremacism to even realize your very existence is a net negative in overall human happiness. Piece of shit

            You fuck off scum. You’re a snitchy bitch who choosed to collaborate with your oppressive country and throw foreigners under the bus. Trump is treating you the way you guys threated the rest of the world.

            Maybe if you idiots had clearly signaled genocide was a red line you might not have lost to a racist mafioso. Nobody loves civilians bomber.

            Now go get some gas and some matches

        Yeah, now that i think about it, i can name a few examples too, including the violent removal of colonial administrations around the world. I don’t know why i didn’t think of that when i wrote my above comment.

      I am impressed by the pacifist responses on Lemmy. I assume country means the USA.

      Labor strikes have led to violence. Among the consolations were the eight hour work day for some and an end to some child labor.

      The Kansas-Nebraska Act sparked Bleeding Kansas which contributed to the Civil War. The result of the violence was a change in labor relations for slaves. Owners had to get more creative at creating an underclass.

      The battle of Blair mountain, John Brown, hell, the Black Panthers. Peace is good, but without the threat of violence it falls easily.
