    Imagine reading in the future that WWII happened but then for WWIII the USA and Israel were the genocidal baddies who like eugenics.

    Imagine the surprise when it turns out that that wasn’t history rewritten by some victors to twist history but actually is what happened, and it was voted for.

          It kinda might tell us something about power and influence.

          Nah, it tells us about the people who seek out power and influence.

          Oh my goodness you’re right, I was wrong. Thank you for correcting this meaningful distinction.

      Imagine reading in the future that WWII happened but then for WWIII the USA and Israel were the genocidal baddies who like eugenics.

      The US did commit genocides, and until the 1960s it was policy to eradicate indigenous languages and religions.

      Time for Aime Ceseare quote:

      Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa.

      This would be entirely unsurprising to the majority of people outside the US

        Candidate that let’s it happen.

        Candidate that wants it expedited to build hotels, and to bring the genocide home.

        I guess there was just no viable choice huh.

          Both of those plans involve genocide

          So no, the viable choice would be to write in Bernie Sanders or some shit idk

          The Democrats and Republicans both have shown, through their actions, they want to just let the genocide continue to happen.
