Okay, lots to unpack there and I’m not paid to do that so keep in mind that this is quick.
It satisfied my question though, you think they’re a troll because you don’t like what they’re saying and they sure talk a lot. I’m sorry if you’re still processing this, but the United States is a brutal imperialistic power that has caused an immeasurable amount of damage to the world, not just people, the entire living world. Its entire system depends on extractive genocide to exist, and there is no reform for that. US citizens may choose to support or subscribe to that system, as many fascists and liberals do, or they may choose to challenge it, as many liberationists, climate activists, socialists, and anarchists do. Their leaders have most certainly chosen to continue it.
People fought slavery in the Americas since it started and they had to fight for hundreds of years through the deaths of untold millions to do it. It was not, “just part of the law,” the law was built to facilitate that violence. Thomas Jefferson – many “founding fathers” actually – only had the resources to carry out a revolution because of slavery.
I don’t think any serious socialist or anti-imperialist sees American culture as monolithic. Most of my knowledge on mutual aid comes from Black Liberationists in living memory. Instances like the Coal and Rent Wars are powerful examples of how that brutal system is also vulnerable to the popular forces of exploited people, which means there is a lot of them. But, you can’t support the state and ally yourself with those groups.
