That’s what happens when you’re the biggest colonizer the world had ever seen.

The British might have done genocide the most the good ol’ fashioned way, but I really think at least in per-capita terms the US will be recognized in future history books as the worst. They mastered the art of genocide to the point that we don’t even think of them as responsible for all the deaths they cause.
Do we MLs even call what happened in Iraq a genocide? I mean, millions of civilians died at the hands of the US. Not only places we directly invade but what about everywhere we strangle economically, where we install fascist dictators, at that point I feel like the death and destruction outweighs the Brits by a magnitude.
The British imperialists bowed out and chose to live in their “garden” peacefully while the Americans inherited their death machine and revolutionized it with Nazi inspiration. We modernized it and mastered the craft of being so purely evil and yet in such a way that most people wouldn’t associate the US with genocide save perhaps that of the Native Americans (arguably another British genocide as well).
The difference between US atrocities and every other country on Earth is that we never call them genocides, we never let anyone call them genocides. The War in Iraq was simply a war…where millions of innocent people were killed or tortured.
Yeah they like doing that
Its children are worse (US, Canada, Australia)

Yea… We’ve done a lot of invading, pillaging and murdering… Stealing and manipulating.
Most older nations have.
Dawg, there are only 22 nations on this Gods green earth that the British Empire have not invaded or razed. Not to mention that it was industrialized streamlined genocide, slavery, colonialism, and subjugation.
You are by far the worst.

US mastered the formula
Yea… I wasn’t disagreeing, did you not get that from what I wrote?
Most older nations have
That comes across as defending genocide
Why would you think I’m defending it? I’m literally admitting we did exactly that? Where the hell am I defending it?
Oh shit I just realised I was on Lemmygrad haaaahahaha oh shit 🤣
Its a common talking point that “Everyone else did it, so it’s fine we did it to”.
But that’s not what I said AT ALL I acknowledged we did it a shit load, listed examples and noted that it was a common thing… Because it was.
I offered no defense, because I don’t need one, and I offer no apology either, and this is history anyone can fact check… I am not upset about any of it and I don’t feel I have to “defend” anything. Yes we did that, a whole bunch, so much so that a lot of the world speaks our language… Fuck me the Internet is bizzare now, have I blown all of your minds so much by agreeing?
