Yeah, but we’re very specially talking about America right now.
Right, but the point is this has been a hallmark of conquering nations for thousands of years, and the denialism goes hand in hand with it.

Whataboutism at its finest. Par for the course for Muricans who believe they are king of the hill in everything but just can’t admit that includes gun deaths, Black maternal mortality rates, homelessness and healthcare expenditures.
Their violence is also largely attributable to the USA’s history of backing fascist coups in them.
When we’re discussing an American singer talking about American issues, and reactions by other Americans pointing out American history? Yes. Because it’s not relevant to the discussion at hand. It’s whataboutism and counterproductive. Again, we’re specifically talking about America here. Stay on topic.
Oh, so that makes it okay then.
Your whataboutism doesn’t even work here. The USA was born in native American genocide, an international slave trade, and rampant settler colonial capitalism. At least the next time when you’re doing racist dogwhistles on lemmy pick a country that the US 24-hour news cycle wants you to derail about like Russia and China you absolute tool. Blaming the global south was so Cold War ago.
Most other nations don’t pretend to be non-violent while people are getting lynched my mobs…
Japan sits silently in the corner
Let’s not talk about Nanking.
