    Imagine reading some fiction book, like fantasy or something like that.

    You see a state that was created by genocide, which was continued until there was barely anyone left to kill, which state then became world hegemon, took control over nearly entire planet economy and proceeded to find new targets for genocide, ecocide, invasion, looting and murdering every political opponent.

    You would think it’s caricaturally evil, worse than Mordor.

    And here you ask “they are now definitely a rogue state”? Now?

      True. But what I mean above all is that the US is now more unpredictable in terms of foreign policy than ever before.

        Yeah. The usa has always been relatively evil… But also fairly predictable .

        Also worth noting that pretty much every country ever has been evil, with a few notable exceptions —of which none of the eu are included in

        It sure does look more unpredictable, but is it really? They continue basically everything except trying to wrap up Ukraine and fuck up and loot Europe, but marxists were saying this will happen years ago already (and regardless of which government will be at helm), so it is by no means unpredictable. The one thing that changed is the presentation, it is more honest but more erratic, though it is again what anyone could simply predict looking at previous Trump term and process of building his staff in preparation to the last elections.

      Fuck off with this fucking shit. I am here because Germany went fucking nuts and bombed my homeland. I never owned fucking slaves. I wasn’t even considered white until a few decades ago. I am so sick of this shit from you people not understanding that so many Americans are here because fascism forced us here too.

        You still benefit from white privilege. If it weren’t for your pale skin, you most likely would’ve been deported or murdered before you even tried. Your privilege in USA is still based on your skin tone. Now you’re supporting fascism here with you white victimhood story. Everybody in USA has some sad tale. Fuck off with your bullshit, yt.

          That person is delusional. If North America were a group of Indigenous nations it wouldn’t have been a major immigration target for European refugees.

        No, you’re there because the people already there decided to let your family in.

        Them being in a position to let you in js a crucial factor. And the reason their society got to control that is because of what they had done to other people beforehand.

        No one is asking you to feel guilt and no one is blaming you. But facts are facts.
