    Wow you border areas very different from you? That’s gotta be a great source of societal change huh.

    Not sure how “we’ve hated each other for stupider reasons for hundreds of years” is your lede but, write what you know, they say.

    Nobody thinks we’re better people, it’s just that the entire globe agrees you’re not good people and are educated to have the miopic view typical of a place that thinks they are better than everyone else while conveniently ignoring they’re living on stolen land from a wealth of genocided native peoples.

    *myopic*. So true about the stolen land. Irrelevant to the discussion but true. Hey I heard you guys literally were the Nazis, is that true?

      Written like someone “educated” in the US. If only there was a discipline, I don’t know, like history, that taught thousands of examples of exactly that…

      It was also a European who killed Hitler, so it evens out at the end of the day.

        Remind me, which African colonies did Americans own into the 1950s.

        I can tell you which European ones existed…

          I can name you few banana republics well into the 2000s. Shit, you’re trying to do it again in Venezuela RIGHT NOW!
