Idgaf what you call people, you are an imperialist piece of shit either way.
Based on what? Specifically. What imperialistic behavior have I exhibited, where, and how was it such? You are under no obligation to answer any of that of course, but without specifics I’m forced to assume you’re just resorting to name calling because you don’t like my opinions.
Yes, England and Japan are both racist allies of america.
So it’s not unique, like I said.
The current nations which…
Where are you drawing the line for current. China has existed since well into BCE dates, and Russia since around the 18th century by the same calendar in use here.
I dont see how this hypothetical masturbation of the intellect is relevant to america and its allies having a historical record of perpetrating and supporting white supremacist genocides and a global system of capitalist exploitation for their interests
It’s directly relevant to the statement that “Neither was founded in the genocide of an entire nation’s worth of indigenous peoples”. If we’re being pedantic it’s also several nations worth, but the quote is your words. If a thing is not bound by its origins then the statement was most likely made to provoke emotional response. It seems likely that you assumed I either didn’t know or didn’t care about said genocide. Both are wrong. More likely, however, is that it’s a set up for how bad the US is. Incredibly bad, yeah. But does the starting state determine everything or is it just one step in a road? Are bad things tallied or averaged? Surely that needs to be considered if we’re to weigh a country as young as the US against one as old as China.
while china and russia dont
based on what? Leaving western media out of it I have been privy to first hand accounts of life in both and that’s a mighty claim you’re making.
america is fundamentally a racist, imperialist, genocidal country because the very idea of america itself is founded on the notion of white supremacy and thus the invasion of foreign lands with the former as justification for slaughtering everyone there and ruining the environment for ones personal enrichment.
and we’re back to founding. are you your parents? Yes, America is fucked and has been for its whole run. Is it beyond fixing? What if your grand parents were racist imperialist pieces of shit? Are you then beyond the possiblity for anything good?
America literally means nothing but misery and despair for the vast majority of people on earth
That’s bold. I bet a lot of people don’t think about it at all in their day to day lives.
everyone fucking hates it
provably false. I know several immigrants who love it here. I can’t understand why, but it changes nothing.
including the remnants of the indigenous people who it genocided upon its founding
Also provably false. I know several people who had families here before Europeans came over who think it needs a lot of work and needs to do a whole hell of a lot better, but they would not say they hate it.
And it can mean nothing more because its like saying nazi fucking germany is “capable of good”, no it isnt, its a fascist state that was rightfully destroyed.
How was it destroyed in a way that America seemingly can’t be?
So far your whole spiel sounds an awful lot like “America bad, China good, fuck you if you disagree”. I can only agree with one part of that.
It takes a long time for someone to deprogram all of the propaganda they have accumulated throughout their life, especially when it came from the most sophisticated propaganda machine in human history.
If you truly are a potential ally against fascism, then I hope one day you are curious enough to go out and read some things outside your comfort zone and see whether or not they make sense to you.
Shall we go bit by bit?
where did I say anything at all about NATO?

I am and have done for a long time. Being cognizant of what’s lie and what’s truth is a lifelong journey.
Outside viewpoints are one of the best tools for it.
