Wow.
Some people have a mega cyclopean weltanschauung. 8O

Asians are good at killing each other too.
Based on body count, they are the Olympic champions. :star:

But don't let the Truth get in the way of a good white supremacist story. 8)

Equally as bad? :? How do you figure that? Hitler's Nazi's killed 6 Million Jews. America/Canada murdered ~100 Million Indigenous people. I'd say our ancestors here in the colonial new world were far worse than Hitler and his Nazi party.

eisenhauer's death camps and man-made famines?

eisenhauser was a German hater of the worst degree, but people don't talk about that mass murder's deeds either.




I believe a "straw man" has made us a visit. 8O
Could you cut and paste where I said millions of P.O.W.s were murdered in eisenhower's death camps? 8)


the only historical claim about Eisenhower being responsible for any reasonable amount of deaths is some book that claims a million Germans might have been starved by the Americans after the war. It is highly disputed.
In all other accounts, a few thousand died, hardly justifying calling Eisenhower a mass murderer, given the situation.


And the Chinese government has been gaslighting us about the origins of Covid, until very recently, but they are blaming individuals rather than themselves. 8O

Naivety and self-interest is a common aspect of humanity. 8)
Look at fauci and daszak, in reference to butt-protecting.

Death estimates in eisenhower's death camps ranged from over 3,000 to 20 thousand.
Food, water, and shelter were denied in those death camps.
Friends and family who threw supplies over the fence were shot.
Those who scratched a trench in the earth with their bare hands as shelter were buried alive with bulldozers.

More than enough to qualify for the title of "mass murder". 8O
Do your research. 8)

100 million?
Much more than I imagined.
America and Canada have a lot to answer for, but politics will protect them. 8)

Don’t forget Latin America and what the conquistadors did.

Many also died from diseases they had no resistance to.

I guess the moral of the story is only Switzerland is innocent since their entire history was one of military neutrality, yet look how successful that made them.

Be like Switzerland

Pretty much every European colony in a non-white country involved genocide and massacres. This is why aliens don't think we are worth greeting.

Yep, approximately. That's why there's an ever growing chorus of ordinary Canadians singing alongside Indigenous people Still being mistreated by our government(s), law enforcement agencies, and society in general.

Well, Okay, not so much for the historical genocide as the more recent Residential Schools fiasco and continued modern day abuses. But it all plays a part.

At least we're acknowledging our culpability---like the Germans had to acknowledge their culpability.

We have to acknowledge, not ignore, history.

But, in order to be a truly enlightened people, we have to move on from what happened in the past, learn from it, be vigilant about it never happening again.

I did not participate in the Native American Genocide. Just like the Germans of today didn't participate in the Holocaust Some of my ancestors were victims of the Holocaust; but I don't blame the Hans Deutschlands of today for it.

In recent years, the USA has certainly lost much of its moral credibility. We have to seek to get that back.
