    The native Americans were not seen as citizens at that time.

      Used as a retort to a "Soviet Russia and china saved the world" comment.

        Yes, and then you did apologetics for a genocide by claiming it wasn't as bad because the victims weren't citizens of the state doing the genocide, which is:

          No, I indicated that conquest happened. I never ever supported it.

          Conquest happened on every square meter of land on this planet.

          I also indicated an own-goal is fucking embarrassing,

          And if you don't care about that, an own goal of that magnitude takes one out of the running for "elevating the world" or whatever.

          No one is a hero, no one is forgiven. All nation states are trash, some just do trash special.

            The only way this makes sense is if you believe in the concept of the nation-state.

              Obviously I believe in nation states, have you looked out the window? The earth is covered with them holy shit. Doesn't mean I think america is "clean" or something.

                I understand that your comprehension is limited, but that's not what I said. The only way you can believe that one is worse than the other is if you fundamentally believe that nation-state is a justified and valid concept. Otherwise, one can't be worse than the other. Instead, you established a hierarchical ordering in your own logic, in which killing non-citizens is lesser than killing citizens.

        So you don't actually hold any convictions? You just say whatever is convenient to you at the time? One day you're against nation-states, the next you're for them, as long as it is expedient to your argument? Neat. Wish I could live without a spine.
