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

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.

You dishonor everyone who died fighting the fascists by misusing that word. You are screaming over the lived experience of an indigenous man and throwing slurs. Hell you accused me of working for Musk because I disagree with you partially. Do some introspection. But go on, tell me more about how you beat me, thump your chest and never stop to think

Excuse me? First off, you defended the US government. That was the point you made when prompted.
Look I don’t try to talk over anyone. You didn’t bring identity into it until just now. I genuinely try to be mindful of my privilege at all times and have for a while.
But you should know as well as anyone that the US is, especially now, a fascist dictatorship, and doesn’t need white knights (ironically) stepping up to say “oh poor America it gets such a bad rap for its long history of subjugation”.
That was the point I was making. Which, I feel, is pretty fair. But I’ll listen if you’ve got something to say.
