There are no evidence of US war crimes even coming close to Japan, Germany or Russia at the time or superceding it. Where are the tens of millions of bodies, rammer? Where are they?
You're joking, right? Nazi Germany wishes they could commit genocide in the scale of the early US.
True, but that was long ago. If you're gonna play that game we need to delete every single country except for like a few.
Not really, most other countries revolted and enshrined human rights,and even started to try reparations for their crimes. The US doubled down by medically experimenting on the black population after WWII.
And what of the countries that continued to make a bunch of genocide happen? That happened to be communist? And still are? And still are killing people? They are a bigger problem than what us was.
We're on .world, which has covered up the Israeli genocide of Palestinians and is about to require all posts be congruent with the US government standard of facts; as such you've reached the end of the discussion that can be done on this instance. I'm happy to continue on a better instance not run in a fascist country, or in private messaging.
OOTL here. What's happened?
.world admins are based in the US and all infrastructure is based in the US, meaning sooner or later it will get the Tiktok treatment wherein either it's shut down or has to promote and censor what the US govt wants. In the US, via meta, x, or Tiktok you can't search the phrase 'Donald trump rigged the election' it will show no results. The first act of censorship of the new admin.
As someone from ex communist nation where 20% were genocided I acknowledge that america is built upon genocide that inspired the 20th century and has definetly done some pretty bad things nobody should do. But I firmly believe, and will not budge from my belief, that making 20th century america out to be as bad as communist china, camboida, north korea, russia, germany and many others is anything but extremely out of touch extremist left brainrot built upon russian propaganda. Its like saying "That guy who stole from girl scouts is literally as bad as those mass murderers and rapists."
You weren't a part of a communist nation.
You aren't part of a capitalist one then.
Given you can't define either and this instance isn't capable of hosting this discussion, it's not worth discussing.
