    Are you saying a country built upon colonization, Genocide and slavery has a systemic problem of oppression?

    We just need to vote harder for Genocide!

      a country built upon colonization, Genocide and slavery

      Which country wasn’t?

      Probably the two most unusual things about the US are that instead of either absorbing and assimilating, killing off, or enslaving the natives we mostly relocated them and that we imported most of our slaves from overseas instead of primarily enslaving the conquered people(s). I mean those, and we’re one of the later examples of all of it in history.

        Which country wasn’t?

        America is an outlier. Concentration camps and intentional shipping Europeans overseas with the intention to colonize an 'unpopulated land (see “thinking the Natives weren’t human”)

        Most of history lands were conquered and populations were absorbed into a kingdom. Occasional Genocides too place but wiping such an area to replace the natives is special. Not to mention it all happened just 250 years ago.

        Adolf Hitler was literally inspired by how America wiped out all the brown natives and replaced them with the white Ubermensch.

    I think it’s stupid to say they have always been fascist, but people definitely don’t grasp what fascism is, they think it’s people marching in nice grey uniforms on the street and concentration camps out in the open and if you try to call anything that’s not that they call you stupid and overreacting

    brain dead take.

    Always a racist slave state? sure. A military cult since like 1910? sure. A broken oligarchy? sure.

    Fascist? defs heading that way. Not always.
