    USA has about 32 million murders under its belt, a lot higher than what Hitler did. Also remember how Hitler’s racial policies were inspired by USA, and how USA purposely hides its Native American genocide.

      I’d like to see where you got that number of 32 million from, but for the sake of argument I’ll accept it. I don’t think it sounds completely unreasonable. That’s still centuries of killing being in the same order of magnitude as what the Nazi’s did in under a decade. The Nazi’s took everything the US does wrong and dialed it up to 11. That is worse. It is. The US has done more than it’s fair share of awful things. Yes, including genocide. It has never been as enthusiastic, brazen, or thorough about it as the Nazis were though. The Nazis were so evil even the United States looked at them and said that’s too much. Let’s not minimize what Nazis did just because they’re not currently in charge of any countries. We don’t want to go back to that.

        Make a search about Hitler’s inspiration for racial policies. Within 5 seconds, you will see USA, and nothing else. USA is the worse one, considering the leftover Nazis flew to USA under Operation Paperclip, and some scattered across Europe.

        Also,

          What do you think I meant when I said “The Nazis took everything the US does wrong and dialed it up to 11.” I know all this. I’ve known all this for decades. You do not have to think the US is good to think there are things that are even worse. The world is not as simple as USA bad, therefore everything else not as bad.

            USA is worse than Nazis. USA has not committed atrocity on just a chunk of people of one race, instead they have flattened and genocided multiple races, sects and countries.

            The simple difference is perception manufactured by global media (80-90% of which is Western) today, where USA’s world domination is very much cheered as the default setting and final conclusion of this world under the European project (USA people are defected Europeans, original Natives got genocided mostly). Compare this to Nazi Germany, where they also had plans of world domination, but Allied Powers got the shit scared out of them and allied with USSR and China. Europe/US fascist empire today gives no fucks about Jews, other than the Zionists in Israel. If they gave a shit, USA would have bombed the shit out of Israel over their settler colonialism and genocide of Palestine. Instead, Putin warned Israel with exactly that threat to protect Palestine last year.

              Man, I wish you were right. I wish this was the worst it could get. We don’t get to live in that world though.
