America

[Fey]

The US is no better or worse than most other countries in the world, which have their own violent histories of genocides, slavery, and the violation of human rights.

One only needs to look at historical patterns to realize that the US is no worse than them. Just look at how Ethiopia and Kenya treat the people underneath their control, and then try telling me with a straight face that the US is uniquely evil. It is not.

for someone imploring people to interrogate history, you have done a superbly shitty job of that task. like you're pontificating in a ahistorical vacuum, a la-la land where all people are bad/other empires suck too and it’s a bit embarrassing.

fyi US imperialism is uniquely heinous and has been since its genesis; not only in its physical impact but its ideological scope.

You're the one that's embarrassing yourself by creating a bullshit narrative that the USA is any different from previous empires in history. You're like an emotional wreck who can't look at history objectively.

Please remove yourself from the gene pool.

I honestly hope you do not believe that.

US Political and Military Interventions since 1945 
The US has launched a series of military and political interventions since  
1945, often to install puppet regimes, or alternatively to engage in

US Perversions of Foreign Elections 
The US has specifically intervened to rig or distort the outcome of foreign  
elections, and sometimes engineered sham "demonstration" elections to ward  
off accusations of government repression in allied nations in the US sphere  
of influence. These sham elections have often installed or maintained in  
power repressive dictators who have victimized their populations. Such  
practices have occurred in nations such as:

Philippines (1950s) 
Italy (1948-1970s) 
Lebanon (1950s) 
Indonesia (1955) 
Vietnam (1955) 
Guyana (1953-64)
