Bush launched an illegal war on false pretenses, created the largest mass surveillance program, fumbled Katrina response, overthrew ballot counting in Florida to steal the election, and signed an act that says the US will invade the Hague if servicemen are tried for war crimes
hey what about the Belgians? King Leopold had colonial police literally collect hands on a regular basis from those who weren't collecting enough rubber for him
The Aztecs were a civilized people, and had notable traits of civilization in many ways. However, like the Assyrians, they were just mind numbingly evil.

"why don't older generations come out as trans at similar rates" they're dead "that's not a good answer" ok but it's the truth, 700,000 primarily LGBT Americans died of a preventable disease. an entire generation of queers was killed due to negligence

That Chad has shaved his temples and likely trimmed his beard, directly against the teachings of Leviticus 19:27. Shameful

Iron Man's theme is "imagine if arms dealers were ethical and superheroes, and worked with similar people (like the US military! Yippee!). Civil War's theme is what if superheroes were restricted by those nasty old Geneva Conventions (like us, the United States government)

what staggers me about this "defense" is that the Spanish were famous for burning people alive for their god for another 300 years
@MildlyAmused
Black Panther literally cast the anti-imperialist who wants to arm natives to fight their oppressors as evil, not the United States foreign policy's lmfao. You are giving these movies way too much credit for little hand waves towards actually good writing
@comradekyle
I think it's extremely telling that 3/4 of these quotes deal directly with the American War of Independence and then end, because most the time they have nothing too nice to say after that. Lenin's Letter to American Workers, for example, has this as the next paragraph

i wonder if theres a global superpower that bombed nearly every building in north of the parallel, and then spent the past 70 years sanctioning all construction materials, food, medicine, and money to that deprived country

this reads like a 17 y/o ranting on a private story on social media about how their parents "abused" them, actually extremely embarrassing that this is a completely adult human being

like asking "do you think the United States would invade on flimsy to no pretenses" as if there aren't decades of evidence of exactly that

putting malcolm x in auth right should be reason enough to be instituionalized for the rest of your life, without even mentioning Elon being "one of the greatest Americans" (lol, lmao, etc)
@NotPotBol
"Chile's economy did so poorly under Allende" is so funny considering the economic sanctions they immediately faced the second he was elected. The world's largest creditor (lending somewhere between $200-300 million in short term credit alone) just stopped cold turkey in 1970
@EAPhenomiks
How can you witness over a century of reformist movements be ground to dust by reaction and counter-revolution and decide "the time is right for reform!" Lmao

"zerg rush Stalingrad to cut off Soviet oil" dude that's literally what they tried to do and that's how they got an entire army encircled lmfao. Also Baku is where you want to go to cut off oil lmao

man maybe having an economy that collapses the second people don't have to repay absurd sums of nom-defaultable, non-negotiable lifechanging debt is not a good thing

kneejerk racial tension should be expected when your ethnic group has been forced into the role of "tourist attraction" for a hundred years, and slowly stripped of their culture and land by white settlers for just as long

Giving your whole ass ID to a company that famously laid off their whole security department last week would be perhaps the stupidest thing you could do on the internet other than emailing your credit card information directly to that Nigerian prince
the British Empire caused ~165 million excess mortalities in India alone, and tens of millions more through deliberate neglect or outright genocidal policy in China throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries

Hey man quick question, is the state maintained and elected by Koreans more or less legitimate than the state established by Americans, run by Americans, and policed by Imperial Japanese officers? How in your mind does the military dictatorship US puppet have more legitimacy

even funnier is Friedman's whole schtick being "yes my laissez-faire theories have been completely repudiated by real world implementation four times in a row, but surely this fifth time we will get it right!"
