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.

What tf are you talking about? The only thing I quoted you on I did so with a screenshot. What did I quote wrong according to you? Do you think I went and edited the image file or something? lol If you're talking about the person I replied to, who did make use of quotation marks in their comment, it was clear to everyone that they were not directly quoting you. They were demonstrating a sentiment, one that most here can recognize as common among fascists, a sentiment that you also leaned heavily on, even if you didn't outright say it. You're just picking some little thing to be mad about like "you mis-quoted me!!" because the content of CyborgMarx's comment was spot on and you just aren't capable of countering it.
You've read the "theorists" "here"? Do you think I'm talking about other commenters when I refer to theory? lol. No, I doubt you've read any theory. Marx and Engels? Lenin? Or maybe more directly relevant to this, Gramsci? Debord? Fanon?
I'll defer to the other people who commented and answered this, making clear to everyone that you don't know wtf you're even talking about.
Well, they did, so I hope you consider yourself enlightened now.
What, you want I should get a higher resolution screenshot next time? lol
Loved that exhaustive list of just societies. Nice. You win.
What, you didn't like the fact that others already schooled you on that topic, and you wanted me to hold your hand through that too? No, I think it's actually that you're embarrassed that you have exactly zilch to say of any consequence in response to everything else in my comment. Whatever the case, I'm happy to leave it as-is, since anyone who can read beyond a grade-2 level will recognize your cringe for what it is. You can't even fall back on that bullshit you made up about being misquoted, since even that was an obvious lie. 🙄
Seriously — this thread went sideways. It started when someone decided to redefine the word murderer as America. As ridiculous a claim as possible, unless of course you have zero understanding of what America is.
I have conceded from the emergence of the thread that America has committed genocide.
Sadly, I’ll also bring up that your use of contemporary technology and media owes so much to American ingenuity and innovation that you might reconsider your attachment to it. Just sayin’.
I also remember you clutching after your pearls when I mentioned that other states have engaged in brutal, despicable acts of genicidal oppression. Oh — but you seem to want to make the US exceptional here when sadly it isn’t.
