  The USA was built on genocide goddammit

  Whole nations of people wiped out

    Most nations are built on genocide, it’s an unfortunate part of human nature to be cruel to those not like your group.I mean the last hundred years alone, the of Cossacks if Crimea, the holocaust, Kaiser run Germany committed one before WW2, Ottomans genocide Armenia, China is actively engaged in one now, as well as Israels current actions in Gaza, and that’s just off the top of my head, but somehow only the USA is built on it. You ignore the skeletons in your own foundations and dishonor yourself and their deaths by doing so

      I’m honestly not sure what point you’re trying to make.

        The USA was built the same way all nations were, by subjugation and eradication but we are one of the few looked down on for it and the only one outright called irredeemable for it

  If anything, enabling is too soft a word

      You make it sound like Israel actually pays for it’s weapons!

        You’re saying they don’t pay for their weapons? Pretty sure we would stop selling them weapons if they weren’t ever paying for them.
