Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 day agoI dunno, there’s been some pretty fucking bad genocides about the place over the years, as well as shit like Stalin and Mao.
When it comes to killing other countries people, they might be.

You have got to be kidding me, or perhaps you are just ignorant to what the US has done.
Let’s just start with economic sanctions. It is estimated that US sanctions have lead to the death of approximately 500,000 lives a year for the last 50 years. That is 25 million people just because we don’t like other countries policies.
Speaking of Genocide the US has an ongoing genocide and has participated is some of the worst genocides in history. Take WWII. The Nazi looked up to the US and Hitler modeled his destruction of Jews on the Native American Genocide
Wealthy US industrialists like Ford bankrolled the Nazi Empire. When Hitler tried to expel the Jews these same wealthy American lobbied against taking them in and stroked anti Jewish sentiment throughout the world to make sure no one would take them in.
This lead to the final solution where American companies like IBM developed a census system (those numbers tattooed on the Jews arms) and helped figure out the logistics of sending the Jews to their death so the trains would not backup into the ghettos.
Besides the ongoing genocide of Native Americans with US Indian boarding schools open to this day we also have the War on Drugs which is yet another hamfisted genocide against minorities by the white nationalists.
Millions of families have been destroyed and the US accounts for 20% of the world’s prison population but only 5% of the actual world population. These along with gun violence having killed a million people in the last ten years paints a very dark picture of the US.
Yes, we also exceed at killing others countries citizens as well. The US and responsible for countless suffering being the number one producer of arms in the world. We are responsible for the two greatest murder of civilian life in a single day with the fire bombings of Tokyo and the dropping of the atomic bombs.
Our technology is also particularly destructive with things like poisoning every human being alive with forever chemicals and plastics. While you can definitely say the countries that used this technology are also culpable there is no denying we invented and proliferated it.
Take lead poisoning from fuel for instance. It was estimate that even to this day 5 million people die every year due to lung damage. Added all up it is in the hundreds of millions dead. Of course the greatest loss of life (billions) will happen with global warming something US petro scientist knew about in the 1950s.
Back to our war mongering the US has toppled around 70 countries and has been directly responsible for the killing of tens of millions of civilians through these terrorist acts. Just there campaign against communism killed millions of leftist
I am found of saying it would take more than my lifetime just to detail all the atrocities and people destroyed by the US.
