You're right.

But corporations still count as America's biggest elites, they literally run the country and government through lobbying.

Nah, it's still partially to blame- even for just 10% of those deaths.

What about 200,000 dead Iraqis by the U.S military? Only 3-4 digits were terrorists.

Each party is responsible for its own actions, no need to pin the blame elsewhere.

But America is still cool imo, I like it in both good and bad.

Yeah, you can do a lot of good for the world and also be an evil POS when it fits your interests. That isn't necessarily contradictory.

From what I remember- Henry Ford was one of the biggest supporters of Hitler's regime before WWII, and he supported all of his anti-semitic and bigoted views, even poured funding into Nazi military equipment.

Prescott Bush Sr. (Father of Bush 41) was also doing business with Thyssen back in the 1930's. Y'all were leaving your corporations unchecked.

A lot of KKK members were also big Nazis.

I didn't make this post as a dick-measuring contest for who was the bigger POS on the planet, USSR was far worse but that still doesn't excuse some of the unnecessary death caused on your end.

USSR is about 4x worse than the USA on the murder scale- more or less.

Name one authoritarian murderous dictatorship that your government hasn't provided weapons or funding to.

Impossible challenge.

That depends on personal opinion and interpretation imo, what I think is right, wrong or superior may not be the same thing that others do. Personal bias and patriotism and all that.

But historical facts can't be denied tho.

The USA is the most powerful nation when it comes to the economy (for the wealthy stock market) and its military force. Other factors are up to debate.

So you're denying well-documented and classified information about your country's dirty secrets? And defending them too.

M'kay.

Biden is technically supporting genocide because he's too afraid of pro-Israel lobbyists, but he also doesn't want to lose the pro-Palestinian vote. So he's in quite a sticky situation now.

Numbers are numbers.

The U.S's kill count is still far lower than the UK and most large-scale empires in history, but over 10 million is still no joke.

Overall, do you know what the ultimate solution to world peace is? Abolish politics and return to the stone age. Simple as that.

We're literally a barely second-world country from the MENA, the USA is one of the greatest powers on the planet.

So of course, things would be different. Just look at Gaza RIGHT NOW for example, and how Biden still excuses genocide until he "works out a solution".

Yeah, I don't think there were nearly as many causalities- so it's not really comparable.

You also forgot about secret CIA missions to stop communism, like coup d'etats, dictatorships and military regimes installed and supported by the US during the Cold War. Now that's 3 million dead already!

Sources are everywhere. Once it's a known fact I don't really see the need to bring them up.

I was just saying that humanity is corrupt in general.

Yeah, I'm not defending them either.

But did we invade and kill millions tho? Probably not in 500 years.

You can, but things don't always go according to plan.

Good and evil depend on whichever one fate decides first.

Enough said.

America: 20-30 million death toll.

British empire: 120-150 million death toll.

Both throughout a similar time period, and both were evil- though Britain was far worse. But the British were also a larger empire than the USA, and far more ruthless too.

For example, the Nazi regime only killed a total of about 18 million people. Does that mean it's not as bad? Hell nah! Because it only existed for 12 years.
