It's always wild to me how, at least for me and if memory serves my classmates, we just accepted that the First Nationers in the now US were slaughtered and sold as the bad guys.
How the fuck did we do that? How did we see Custard and go "Yea, def good guy material there?"
My only thought is that being sold on American Exceptionalism since Pre-K made us ignore the genocide, oppression, and conquest.
"Oh but we're real sorry now" we were told, leaving out the fact we have done jack shit to actually even ATTEMPT to make it right on a Federal level.
FUCK we ate that up, and it's disgusting that kids were sold genocide as a good thing. Makes you think about the kids in Israel. I can empathize with them at least. The adults? Not really. They've had time and experience to learn. Refusing to does not excuse it, same for me and what my country has done.

This measure, if passed in Senate, would make it illegal for the US State Department to cite genocide statistics.
In other words, illegal to do its job.

Thank you Yemen 🇾🇪
Despite being one of the poorest countries in the world, they showed more empathy than those so-called civilized developed countries.

Just catching up the news of the latest slaughter of Palestinians, this time using a mix of
Carpet bombing of refugee camps,
'israeli'? Special forces helicoptering in from the US 'humanitarian port' - you know the one that's not actually managed to put a single piece of aid across... But provides US boots on the ground - god rest you Aaron Bushnell for letting the world know-
Assault vehicles dressed as ambulances,
I guess the chant now is
USA USA Genocide Genocide
as the United States Armed Forces engage directly in putting troops into Gaza to kill Palestinian civilians. Bc there's no fucking way that targeting a refugee camp full of civilians, women, men, children isn't intending to kill civilians. It's war crimes. It's genocidal. And the USA, damn it's perfidious military industrial regime, is apparently slavering at the idea of getting to kill the defenceless, the vulnerable.
The myth of the honourable war always was that. A myth. It's the same as ever, the greedy and the murderous sending their poor and their disturbed to kill the defenceless. For money ? ? Or just because they are sick??
What the fuck is wrong with the USA? Are they just determined to go down in history as 'The Evil Empire' ??
