it doesn’t end there!
American Rape of Vietnamese Women was Considered “Standard Operating Procedure”
i’d include a quote here but every sentence in this article is more horrible than the last. i recommend you (the entity reading this reply) read this article if discussion of rape and war do not bother you. towards the end, it details how american media (especially movies) worked to downplay (and even invert!!!) these atrocities.
This is really eye-opening. Didn’t know Americans were THIS inhumane during the war in Vietnam.

Just because the US commits countless atrocities, does not mean every other country does so, especially its victims.

most evil empire in history
Eh… I don’t know if the US has been around long enough to really grab that title. It kinda depends on who you are laying blame to for the vast majority of the genocide against native Americans. Most of the deaths during the great dying in the Americas happened before the concept of America as a country even began.
If you’re looking at the amount of people killed and adjusted for the comparative populations, it’s probably the Spanish empire. If you are looking at the number of different cultures affected it’s probably the British. I would say America wins the most evil modern empire, but history is pretty brutal and America kinda missed the majority of the age of exploration and the colonial era.
It’s the Western European white supremacist Christian patriarchy. That’s the empire. They can make up all the fancy names of cities, and states, and draw borders and make believe all they want. It’s the same empire.
I would for the most part agree with that. I think you could argue that after “the end of history” in the 90s, you could claim that nations with a white majority in general conglomerated to form an empire for the White Christian patriarchy.
Oh honey. The European empire may have had violent factional disputes within it, but they all shared the same goal and worked to promote it for well over 400 years, if not 600
I was moreso talking about the need to differentiate between the motivations and actions of the Soviet union and the west after WW1 and up until their disillusion in the 90s.
English translation: “For services in Song Mi”
The second most moral army on Earth
Oh wow so those shitty myths about Soviets were projection! And here I thought they were just propaganda. Like clockwork
Not like they were smart enough to actually make up a story out of the blue.
