This is all American stuff. What about British, German, French, Russian, Japanese, Chinese atrocities and coverups? God knows there are terrible secrets along them all.
Hell, just look back a bit for the shit done in the open.
I submit King Leopold the 2nd of Belgium. In Belgium he’s known as “the builder king” because he spent so much of his own money to build parks and civic buildings and such.
Money that was acquired through what was described at the time as Crimes Against Humanity.
Ah yes, he had a hunger only hands could satisfy.
But Leopold, that kills people
King Leopold the 2nd of Belgium.
described at the time
Hmm… I wonder when these…
Leopold II was the second king of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909, and the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908.
Oh that’s not too long ago. “Sole owner of the Congo Free State” sounds like a contradiction tbh
Why do people always forget the Dutch. :(
Unless you’ve survived a Dutch Oven. #neverForget
Very few survive, in my experience.
“My parents are horrible, they beat me, killed my pets, stole my money and much more”
Well that’s just your parents!! What about my parents? What about the neighbors parents?? God knows they are all horrible
My personal one: One Child Policy that almost got me “terminated”
Never gonna forget that, its a very personal grudge for me
Amnesty international is a great source for current atrocities nations undertake.

It’s less whataboutism and more a comment on how you should be at least mildly distrustful of any government
