    From a European perspective, that has been every day for at least the past 50 years. But honestly, far far longer than that. Something with slavery, genocide, wars, dropping nukes, crimes against humanity like it’s incarceration system, corruption, etc.

      Your grandparents systematically murdered 12 million people during one of the two largest conflicts in human history culminating 500 years of raping the rest of the world.

      Thanks for the moralization.

      When did the US have slavery, commit genocide or drop nukes in the last 50 years? Or are you too stupid to remember your own premise from one sentence to the next?

        Your grandparents systematically murdered 12 million people during one of the two largest conflicts in human history culminating 500 years of raping the rest of the world.

        My grandmother from my mother’s side had a grenade piece in her shoulder her entire life, she never told why (she was a teenager during the second World War). Her parents kidnapped and executed several nazis in their farm shed. My grandfather from my mother’s side met her as he needed to go into hiding in their back garden. Because his father was taken by Gestapo, tortured for 2 weeks and deported to Birkenau. He used to smuggle allied pilots back to the UK. He never told the nazis anything when he was tortured. That’s why it took 2 weeks.

        My grandfather from my father’s side was an honored resistance fighter, who blew up several communication lines, railway tracks and raided a nazi distribution centre once. A street is named after him. His girlfriend, who he already had a relationship with during primary school, stood by his side. She was my grandmother.

        Assumption is the mother of all fuckups. I’m not even German, nor were my grandparents. Their country was invaded by nazis, just like Venezuela.

        I said it was actually way longer, so I guess you had some trouble reading. But there’s still slavery in the US as the anti slavery act states “except when incarcerated”. There are still states where inmates are forced to work without pay, which is slavery.

        See here.

        Actually, if you YouTube search “last week tonight incarceration” you can see many videos on the incarceration system and how crooked it is, and it’s crimes against humanity.

        Also, the last nukes dropped by the US were in 1991 and 1992 during testing. Source

        Or are you too stupid

        Well, it seems you are the one who is uninformed and didn’t read my previous comment correctly, which is to be expected seeing the US education system (I am assuming you are a US citizen, based on the rude comment you made). So I won’t hold it against you.

        My grandparents fought against fascism and nazism, as did their parents. I’m actively fighting fascism, did and do a lot of volunteer work and I saved 126 people from drowning when trying to cross the Mediterranean to flee the dictatorial regime in their country.

        So far estimates of the number of deaths by USAID funding cuts, done by your elected president, are 500,000 to 1,000,000 and rising.

        What are you doing against fascism and to protect others, right now in your country?
