We have committed more genocide and are currently more fascistic than Nazi Germany.
But it's good to know you don't consider Palestinians, Latinx immigrants, Sudanese residents, or the many, many demographics we exploit for our economic well-being to be worth your consideration. I'll categorically disregard anything you say from now on. My bad.
by what metric?
total number of genocides participated in, maybe..?
but the state isn't building death camps, and if you compare the death toll in Palestine to those in Nazi Germany it's a stark difference
exploiting workers to death for economic benefit is very objectionably inexcusable, but by definition not genocide, and by attempting to reposition it as such you're lessening the definition of genocide rather than helping the plight of those abused by capitalism
yes, i think allowing the machine of capitalism to churn through lives incidentally is at least marginally better than building a machine specifically designed to churn through as many lives as possible in as short a window as possible
very obviously neither should be happening at all, and the fact either is is frankly disgusting, but you were the one who decided to directly compare them
again, the fact you're able to type this is proof that it's false
I don't argue with genocide deniers
literally no part of my reply was denying genocide that the us has participated in
OK so what is your problem with returning the land and power to indigenous groups? You surely don't support the United States of America with its history of genocide, slavery, imperialism, and colonialism? Surely you would celebrate the downfall of a state worse than that of Nazi Germany whose most progressive leader (by its own adminission) is a genocide-supporter and border fascist. fascist.
Surely the Indigenous groups wouldn't be worse than the blue or red ghouls?
oh no it's time for circles
So you agree we should return the land to indigenous groups? Same. Unequivocally.
i'm not opposed to returning land to native americans, but not when it would just create a power vacuum that would result in a right-wing takeover of said land
So ... only if [white majority groups] have the actual power
I REALLY think you need to reflect on your subconscious racism.
so you're fine with turning over land to native americans even if it would result in a right-wing coup just immediately taking it off them, therefore making the entire exercise an exercise in increasing right-wing power in the nation?
so far you haven't managed to put forth an argument that disagrees with that assessment of your proposal
The fact that you think turning control over to indigenous groups would necessitate white fascist groups taking control is ABSURDLY racist.
dearie me, am i arguing with an ai?
do i have to tell you to ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem?
