Read their history with native Americans and it makes a lot more sense. They’re somehow worse than other settler countries like Argentina and Australia.

I wouldn’t go that far. Australia discovered a “loophole” with the indigenous population; just declare that they aren’t human, they’re just more of the local fauna, and therefore you don’t actually need to worry about making treaties with them that you break later, you can just massacre them like an animal.
Also fun fact, Aboriginal people weren’t given human rights in this country until a 1967 referendum. And also depressing fact, there has been a massive propaganda push in the last few years to try and claim that it is a “myth” that Aboriginal people were treated poorly before that referendum, and because google is google and wikipedia is wikipedia, you can’t even find information on it anymore, only information telling you it is a “myth” now.
I’ll be sure to tell my Aboriginal friends that their generation trauma is just a myth, what a relief!
Honestly, this reminds me of something from Mark Twain’s satirical A Defense of General Funston. Funston was fighting to conquer the Philippines and trying to track down insurgents. He hatched a scheme to be fake-captured by Phillippinos loyal to him, but while they were en route, they ran short of supplies, and begged the insurgents for food. The insurgents sent them food, then welcomed them in to their hideout and fed them, after which Funston’s “captors” opened fired and murdered their hosts.
By the custom of war, all these things are innocent, none of them is blameworthy, all of them are justifiable; none of them is new, all of them have been done before, although not by a Brigadier-General. But there is one detail which is new, absolutely new. It has never been resorted to before in any age of the world, in any country, among any people, savage or civilized. It was the one meant by Aguinaldo when he said that “by no other means” would he have been taken alive. When a man is exhausted by hunger to the point where he is “too weak to move,” he has a right to make supplication to his enemy to save his failing life; but if he take so much as one taste of that food–which is holy, by the precept of all ages and all nations–he is barred from lifting his hand against that enemy for that time.
It was left to a Brigadier-General of Volunteers in the American army to put shame upon a custom which even the degraded Spanish friars had respected. We promoted him for it.
Amerikkkans are a brutal, evil people. It is encouraged in all aspects of life and culture, to be an uncaring, selfish monster towards your fellow human.
what the actual fuck is wrong with america
