Get outta here with this false equivalence. The marginal human suffering inflicted per year caused by Israeli's colonialism is incomparably greater than any other country's in the modern era.
The US pays Israel to cause suffering
Okay granted. From this perspective, sure, American colonialism is strictly broader than Israel's. I don't think this really changes anything about what I'm saying here.
I mean the only reason you're technically correct is cause you limited the scope to just the last year. Just cause Israel did it the most recently doesn't make them incomparable.
Even the year before that, it's still true. Well, depending on what "incomparable" means lol
China says hi.
Remember when Apple.moved to India and tried to use the same conditions as their Non-Slave Chinese factories?
Remember when the Indian workers rioted over that?
Edit: fucking Google. Doesn't correct Infia to India, but automatically changes rioted to rooted.
Can you post a link to that Apple story? I’d like to educate myself on it

That's globalization, not colonialism. That's a completely different reason to want to see western powers annihilated.
Try again. It was a longtime subsidiary based out of Taiwan that was shifting from Chinese labour to Indian labour.
I think I'm too stupid to understand what you mean.
Wasn't a western entity involved outside of Apple paying a Taiwanese firm, which itself was paying a Chinese firm which was responsible.
Just because it isn't overtly genocidal(anymore) doesnt mean the US hasnt done incredible harm to the entire world. What israel is doing right now if horrific yes but the US is responsible for even greater suffering. Neither should exist
Really? The data says otherwise. Under american hegemony birth rates are up, life expectancy is up, infant mortality is down, and poverty has fallen across the entire world. Bitch and moan all you want but america has had a massive impact on improving thr world.
I want you to go to an iraqi and tell them that american intervention benefitted them and their nation. Say that to a cambodian, vietnamese, nicaraguan, chilean, cuban, north korean, venezuelan, haitian, balkan, etc. the list goes on. You haven't had a truly experienced the third world if you havent sat around a fire with sunflower seeds and grumbled about america. When i say that america is worse than israel i am referring to the purposeful bombings of civilians, hospitals, industrial infrastructure, and schools; I am referring to the overthrowing of democratically elected governments, the funding of fascist death squads, and the illegal and immoral sanctions meant to destabilize foreign powers all in the name of profit. Humanitarian aid is meaningless if you are the reason its necessary
You complain about America yet America contains China and their genocidal Muslim death squads. You bemoan American intervention yet that intervention keeps energy prices stable saving millions of lives getting food dependant on that. You curse America even though it keeps murdering dictators at bay. America has used its power and navy to keep the seas open and trade flowing. You talk about the third world while you sit around a coal fire under provided by the trade America' protects. Is America perfect? Absolutely not. But it can be much, much worse. If not America, then who? Look how China has been behaving in Africa. Russia seems very reasonable and understanding. America helped end colonialism. Also, thank goodness for America eradicating disease around the world. America led the way eradicating aids, guinea worm, polio, small pox, measles, and TB.
If you're going to lob criticism, you need to acknowledge the whole. Global population says American efforts have been a resounding success. A simple thank you would be nice.
You're either a troll or your brain is so rotten that you may as well cut off your head, as it's doing nothing
Thanks for the ad hominem attack. I'm sorry the facts are against your opinion.
And I am sorry your family had to deal with your existence
That's all you got? You didn't bring any counter argument. You just lobbed a half hearted insult. America has made the world a better place and that's a fact. Now if you could pull your head out of your ass for one minute, you could see that. But as of this moment, it is far up there that if you blinked, you'd tickle the back of your throat and cough out the cum you have been gargling all day at the gloryhole you have been working.
I don't need a counter argument when talking to an american - your brain is less developed than that of a literal slug :)
If that's true, why do we wield the most power in the world? Surely everyone else is smarter and can overpower us. Oh wait...
The US’s “Uyghur genocide” disinformation campaign has already been debunked several times over.
Yeah, it’s investing in Africa’s infrastructure, as opposed to exfiltrating its resources like the Global North neocolonialists.
During this time of hegemony we've also had major developments in medicine, farming, manufacturing worldwide. How can you say the world is better off with US hegemony? There is no control to compare it to. Humanity has improved materially in the last 100 years, in SPITE of American dominance. I would ask the thousands of people killed every year by US munitions if they believe the world has been improved.
America had a hand in all of that and help the world grow. You complain about american munitions but there has not been large state on state conflicts since ww2. There have been regional wars but nothing like ww1 and ww2. Hundreds of millions die in world wars. Thousands that die due to conflict are a miracle given human history.
You do realize most of the planet hates 'murica, yeah?
I do and it is completely unjustified.
Maybe stop being a brainwashed useful idiot? That should help.
Sorry for all the global prosperity and disease elimination. I guess the world hates that.
Grow a brain, muritard. The US has destroyed any and all governments that could pose an issue to your economic hegemony. All you bring is death and chaos.
Bingo.
