Brits and Spaniards didn’t kill like 50 million people for you to give the crown to an upstart

That genocide isn’t the only genocide the US has been part of, either as a direct genocidier or indirectly by supporting the genocidal regime.

No one is gonna take this crown from the US!

They try to not be open about it though, at least to its own population, unlike “israel”.

It’s basically a US colony in Palestine though so ig it’s a moot point.

No, not really. There’s a lot of whitewashing of US history, especially in textbooks. If you ask the average American they wouldn’t even call anything the US did “genocide.”

I recommend reading Lies My Teacher Told Me.

That’s what I mean. The US is built on genocide and colonization just like “israel”, but they try to not be open about it.

No it doesn’t. It’s not even close. In terms of the worst genocides in history by death toll, the U.S. doesn’t even make the top 10 list. Same with a more general list of anthropogenic disasters by death toll.

Leave that hurr durr US is big bad amirite shit on reddit.
