Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide?

  The USA was built the same way all nations were, by subjugation and eradication but we are one of the few looked down on for it and the only one outright called irredeemable for it

    Oh! Lookie here, a fascist for breakfast. My day is off to a lovely start.

    The difference is in the history. America has NEVER been honest about its origins. No other modern nations were built on slavery like we were. Britain abolished it decades before America. And after WWII, they gave up the rest of their colonies because it was the right thing to do.

    America? America never stopped. It only stopped genociding Indians when they were such a small population that they couldn’t pose a threat to the white man, and it still fucks them over every chance it can.

    Racism is so deeply embedded in America that the simple claim that black lives matter turned into a controversy. You know what a normal nation would’ve done? Examine their police. Us? We said fuck those people, let the racist cops do whatever they want.

    This is called honesty. Progress can’t be made without it.

    I’ve made it my life’s work to fight white supremacy in the blue collar South and I’ll fucking devour you whole.
