Small caveat: the United States dropped two nuclear weapons to end a fascist dictatorship in Japan that ran a war of oppression against over a billion people. Including countless warcrimes and crimes against humanity that killed millions of people in occupied countries.

I think that point just reinforces your argument.

These bombs were at no point necessary to be used. The US murdered these people to show off a new weapon. I’m sorry, but this talking point is a product of how history as the general populace knows it having been shaped by US dominance. It has no actual basis in reality.

This is a perfect example of something that’s come up a few times here in this thread. People are saying ‘Oh, they’re so angry. They’re so angry.’ Well why is that? It’s because beliefs like these are so deeply ingrained within the culture of the US and the broader hegemonic core, and are so completely removed from reality, that it’s utterly tiresome being inundated by them day in and day out.
