America is genocidal, sure, but so is every single other society in the history of civilization. America is exceptional because of the technology and the art it contributed to genocide, which is the goal of every civiliztion, remember. Pointing out the difference in scale of US atrocities just prevents us working together for greater justice.

      What, you didn’t like the fact that others already schooled you on that topic, and you wanted me to hold your hand through that too? No, I think it’s actually that you’re embarrassed that you have exactly zilch to say of any consequence in response to everything else in my comment. Whatever the case, I’m happy to leave it as-is, since anyone who can read beyond a grade-2 level will recognize your cringe for what it is. You can’t even fall back on that bullshit you made up about being misquoted, since even that was an obvious lie. 🙄

        Seriously — this thread went sideways. It started when someone decided to redefine the word murderer as America. As ridiculous a claim as possible, unless of course you have zero understanding of what America is.

        I have conceded from the emergence of the thread that America has committed genocide.

        Sadly, I’ll also bring up that your use of contemporary technology and media owes so much to American ingenuity and innovation that you might reconsider your attachment to it. Just sayin’.

        I also remember you clutching after your pearls when I mentioned that other states have engaged in brutal, despicable acts of genicidal oppression. Oh — but you seem to want to make the US exceptional here when sadly it isn’t.
