America is genocidal, sure, but so is every single other society in the history of civilization. America is exceptional because of the technology and the art it contributed to genocide, which is the goal of every civiliztion, remember. Pointing out the difference in scale of US atrocities just prevents us working together for greater justice.

Reminds me of that one lib on here who said slavery wasn’t all bad because now there’s rap music.

Can’t decide if this is better or worse than the they’d all be living in mud huts argument. The mud huts is a clearly racist take, but reducing human suffering to cultural output is just so ghoulish.
