    Fun fact: 100% of countries have done fucked up shit.

    I’m not pointing that out because I think that excuses any of the fucked up shit. It doesn’t.

    I’m pointing it out because by the standards of “shut up if your country was ever genocidal”, only people from countries with very little power and influence are allowed to try to do or say anything to make the world a better place for those of us not in favor of genocide.

    TL;DR: STFU with that ultra reductionist edgelord bullshit. You’re not helping and you’re not being clever.

      Perspective, you are being very reductionist. Not that i disagree necessarily. Creating a country rarely came from lets all get together and sing happy songs, but there are vast differences among formation of countries, colonialism, and genocide.
