  • Killed an entire continent of peoples and enslaved millions of people from another one to make agricultural commodities.

    Also during ww2 the US refused a ship of jews fleeing nazi germany and made them return.

    They also won’t make anti-semitism illegal cause freeze peach, so US cops often protect white supremacist groups during protests from righteously outraged ppl. US cops also often recruit directly from those groups, and use them to carry out illegal things actions they don’t want to be responsible for. There isn’t enough space here to even get into the US’s anti-semitic past.



  • 100% agreed. Ruling classes make laws to suit their interests, and law is opposed to morality and compassion in a lot of cases. US slavery was legal. South African and Israeli apartheid were/are legal. US torture camps like Guantanamo bay and Abu Ghraib are legal.

    Even plea-bargaining in the US is a form of medieval-type coercion (confess your sins and we’ll reduce your punishment), and is a pillar of their justice system.


  • Broad estimates of US war victims range up to 12 million (a liberal estimate), whereas the Nazis killed over 13 million through mass killings alone (eg the Holocaust + exterminated minorities). The Soviet Union alone lost 20 to 27 million depending on who you ask.

    In addition to the 500k-millions of native peoples and hundreds of tribes the US systematically nearly eradicated, lets take just a few more examples.

    • Vietnam: 1.5M killed
    • Laos: 300k
    • Iraq: 1M
    • Indonesia: 500k-1M
    • Korea: 500k
    • Japan: 200k-1M in civilian bombings

    And I haven’t even started on operation condor and latin america yet.
