Its not good, its just not as horrible when compared to a lot of other countries.
Literally can’t think of any single country that comes even close to the amount of atrocities US regularly commits around the globe.
I’ll admit I’m not an expert on this but I don’t think that’s right. What about Russia or China? I would also say that many smaller countries are far worse than the US, but their atrocities are on a much smaller scale given their fewer resources.
Nothing Russia or China have done even comes close. US has been at war for 92% of its existence. It has been invading countries and killing countless millions of people while creating incredible amounts of human suffering for the survivors of US aggression. US massacred over 6 million people with its war on terror alone.
On top of that, US has been destabilizing countries, overthrowing democracies, and putting in despotic dictatorships like Pinochet in Chile. Entire books have been written documenting these crimes against humanity.
On the other hand, China hasn’t been at war since the 70s, and it certainly has the same resources available to it to wage war that US does. Instead, it chooses to peacefully create mutually beneficial relationships with countries. Russia has been at war, but even the war in Ukraine doesn’t begin to compare to atrocities such as the invasion of Iraq and the war on terror.
If you’re an American, then you should be deeply ashamed of your ignorance regarding what your country does. The people of US are directly responsible for the crimes they allow their government to commit. The blood is on your hands.
edit: I love how mad you’re all getting when faced with the basic facts about your shithole nation. America is the genocidal regime and a plight upon the world. And since you all claim to have a democracy over there, you are all personally responsible for the atrocities your regime commits.
You enable them and benefit from them while pretending that it’s actually the other countries that are the problem instead of doing any self reflection and fixing your own shithole. You are the most deplorable nation, unable to even look in the mirror.
Any thoughts on the Great Leap Forward? How about the Uyghur genocide?
Uyghur genocide is a US made up conspiracy theory that’s been thoroughly debunked, and it’s frankly incredible that people keep regurgitating it.
The millions of Uyghurs being supposedly imprisoned story is based on two highly dubious “studies.”. CHRD states that it interviewed dozens of ethnic Uyghurs in the course of its study, but their enormous estimate was ultimately based on interviews with exactly eight Uyghur individuals. Based on this absurdly small sample of research subjects in an area whose total population is 20 million, CHRD “extrapolated estimates” that “at least 10% of villagers […] are being detained in re-education detention camps, and 20% are being forced to attend day/evening re-education camps in the villages or townships, totaling 30% in both types of camps.” Furthermore, it doesn’t even make sense from logistics perspective. You’d need a detention city the size of San Francisco to detain one million Uighurs.
Practically all the stories we see about China trace back to Adrian Zenz is a far right fundamentalist nutcase and not a reliable source for any sort of information. The fact that he’s the primary source for practically every article in western media demonstrates precisely what I’m talking about when I say that coverage is divorced from reality.
Zenz is a born-again Christian who lectures at the European School of Culture and Theology. This anodyne-sounding campus is actually the German base of Columbia International University, a US-based evangelical Christian seminary which considers the “Bible to be the ultimate foundation and the final truth in every aspect of our lives,” and whose mission is to “educate people from a biblical worldview to impact the nations with the message of Christ.”
Zenz’s work on China is inspired by this biblical worldview, as he recently explained in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. “I feel very clearly led by God to do this,” he said. “I can put it that way. I’m not afraid to say that. With Xinjiang, things really changed. It became like a mission, or a ministry.”.
Along with his “mission” against China, heavenly guidance has apparently prompted Zenz to denounce homosexuality, gender equality, and the banning of physical punishment against children as threats to Christianity.
Zenz outlined these views in a book he co-authored in 2012, titled Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation. In the tome, Zenz discussed the return of Jesus Christ, the coming wrath of God, and the rise of the Antichrist.
The fact that this nutcase is being paraded as a credible researcher on the subject is absolutely surreal, and it’s clear that the methodology of his “research” doesn’t pass any kind of muster when examined closely.
Meanwhile, the Great Leap Forward was a flawed policy as opposed to intentional genocide which is what US regularly commits. However, even that is eclipsed by the sheer scale of the genocide US committed against the native population.
While you are working on your imaginary enemy Zenz, there are outside of your bubble, i.e. in real life, a lot of independent contemporary witnesses who were able to escape and made their experience public
In real life we have far more concrete evidence for the concentration camps US has on its border, and the the fact that you lot keep trying to find some genocide in China while ignoring the one US does really shows that you don’t care about people one bit. You’re just racists who hate China and everybody outside your bubble of racists knows this. You are very transparent.
