Yes -- few of the many homcidal societies on the planet were able to make the technological or artistic contributions to the world that America has made.

All civilizations throughout all of history are built on blood and oppression. Sorry -- that's just history.

Listen -- I'm American and aware that my country was built on Genocide. Sadly Spain committed genocide all over the Americas and every major civilization has done the same. Singling out a single country just divides good people who might instead work together for greater justice

I’m taking it you would rather do name calling than work together toward justice?

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Well… that sounds pretty vegan. Awesome.

Since when do Americans want to sincerely "work together toward justice"? Usually it's just a dogwhistle to obfuscate their desire to exploit the rest of the world (using tools such as mass murder, mass rape, support of dictatorships, mass spying and suppression of free speech)

I’m not my nationality. I’m just a dude. So… okay.

Working towards justice means working against genocide apologism and American exceptionalism.

Working towards justice means understanding that a nuanced conversation cannot be approached with reductionist name calling and would be better served by a sober examination of facts.
