The progressive genocide of millions of native americans
Twitter neolibs are becoming even more hitlerites than before
"America is always progressive, even when it's not."
"China is always evil, even when it's not."

Dogshit take
Yup, it's internet time
Well damn, here I was thinking its greatest sins were slavery and genocide.
Citations Needed Episode 13: The Always Stumbling US Empire
"Stumbling", "sliding", "drawn into" war––the media frequently assumes the US is bumbling its way around the world. The idea that the United States operates in “good faith” is taken for granted for most of the American press while war is always portrayed as something that happens to the US, not something it seeks out.
On this episode, Adam and Nima explore the media's commitment to the narrative of "United States as reluctant warrior," whose leadership and decision-making always has the "best intentions." We also examine the new Ken Burns and Lynn Novick PBS series on Vietnam which traffics in many of these tropes. With guest Professor Hannah Gurman.
I read it as when America is committing it's greatest sins, e.g. committing slavery and genocide, are examples of it failing to live up to its progressive ideals. Still a wild American exceptionalism take

If what imperial Japan did earned two nukes then what America has done earned total nuclear annihilation.
Genocide - fundementally progressive
Settler-Colonialism - fundementally progressive
Slavery - fundementally progressive
Segregation - fundementally progressive
Imperialism - fundementally progressive
Capitalism - fundementally progressive
Dropping nuclear weapons - surprisingly also fundementally progressive
Libs can look at these things and hand wave them away as "failures to live up to" the "progrssive" ideal. Completely delusional
It's less progressive, more experimental. They're testing how concentrated power can become within a ruling class before it implodes. Unless a force like it puts its weight on the scales, we know monarchies will be overthrown. But a system in which the ruling class is diffuse enough that nobody is essential and they're all individually totally disposable and replaceable is insidious.
🎶Yes I know my enemies🎶
🎶They’re the teachers who taught me to fight me🎶
🎶Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission🎶
🎶Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite🎶
All of which are American dreams (8 times)is how fascists and monarchists and ethnosupremacists talk about the US.
Most people in all three categories cannot stop gushing about the US. The only anti-american reactionaries are Duginists: people who see America as either competition for status as great satan, or hate it BECAUSE IT'S NOT RACIST ENOUGH!
Spongebob and Patrick meme with the diapers and all the genocides and evil domestic shit the USA has done to it's citizens.
Copium for white libs who dont want to accept that Americas liberal institutions are working as intended in hurting people and must be destroyed.
The amount of copium that has been released against the fairly basic interpretation of the art is amazing.
Fujimoto also has the American president [Bill Clinton] sacrifice a year of the lifespan of everyone in the USA in order to let loose a mass murder machine in Japan. Do people think he is actually approving of the US?
state that was barbaric, is barbaric, and is furthering towards the platonic ideal of barbarism
no you don't get it this is not a fundamentally reactionary force you just don't get it
