I think America deserves some credit for the minute good it’s done on the world stage, but can any political unit ever even come close to a comparative amount of suffering and death caused? I feel like I don’t even need to go through the atrocities but I mean the USA has directly caused genocides on more continents than they have not… Has any tribe, nation, kingdom, soviet, whatever the fuck term you want to use EVER caused as much real physical harm as the great Satan, America?
Britain? Portugal? Rome? The Khanate? I don’t know if any of them match the amount of real distress and suffering caused, in a utilitarian sense, as the United States has.
No this post has nothing to do with the fact it’s the Fourth of July.
america was in a unique position to do all that shit because it lucked out geographically, and lucked out after ww2. i dont like american exceptionalism or anti-american exceptionalism. america is only powerful because of material conditions beyond its control.
>>2858904>>2858919Americas greatest buff was only because of the most direct genocide it committed, that being against the lands native inhabitants. Natural buff or not, my point stands that they have committed the most evil.
In terms of raw numbers, probably. Mongol Empire probably killed more people in human percentage numbers when compared to the population at the time, but it's hard to call it a political unit.
I find it hard to believe the us caused more native deaths than either Spain or Portugal, but I'll be honest I don't really give a shit about finding out.
