I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

    Do we want to count the number of genocides Americans have supported since just 1900, compared to the Nazis only pulling one? 'Cause I’ve got the Americans responsible for the genocide of every indigenous tribe that originally held their land, the ongoing genocide of the Black community, genocide of the Mexicans that attempt to cross into the country while Biden’s atomization and sexual assault camps are still open on the border, genocide of the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, and genocide of the Palestinians-- so I’m definitely going to hedge my chips on the Americans being worse.

    As it is, Hitler lifted his concepts of Lebensraum and Aryan purity from Manifest Destiny and Jim Crow Codes in the first place, so… Yeah, motherfuck America and motherfuck her vassals. Typical crackers taking offense at their crimes being listed off to them, though; why am I surprised? There’s no singular people in the world with less a sense of culpability or shame than Americans, other than maybe the Brits or the French-- both of whom have been vassalized by America in the first place.

      The Nazis did multiple genocides by almost any definition, though obviously they could never aspire to the body count of America or Britain.

        I figured since the manifold genocides all happened around the same time as part of the same policy, it’d all be lumped into one; that’s my b-- but you are still correct in that the body count is absolutely dwarfed by what the American Empire’s gotten up to.
