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
Native Americans
Latinx immigrants
Palestinians
Sudanese
Jewish people
Working class people
Asian people
Many Central and South American groups
You are being ignorant by asking "by what metric" for a nation founded on genocide
you're comparing the us's genocide to nazi germany and jewish people were the ones you chose to bring up?
Yes. We have been worse than Nazi Germany. Objectively. Do you deny historical facts?
oh no it's time for circles
please qualify what you mean by "objectively worse than nazi germany"
thank you
We have exterminated more people and we continue to discriminate against more marginalized groups. (E.g., 70% of Americans believe there is a "border crisis" and support the Palestinian genocide)
the numbers don't back this up
"nazi germany was so bad it doesn't exist anymore so they can't continue to discriminate" isn't a very good argument
You deny the genocide the US has committed against indigenous and other non-white groups?
Y I K E S
You're worse than a "tankie"
