    You’re mistaken in almost every sentence here and it sounds like you’re unlearning some things. The USA is and always has been a fundamentally violent, extractive, sexist, racist, genocidal entity. How something like that reads as complacency to you can only be explained by you.

    When I say Donald Trump is not exceptional, I am encouraging liberals who are new to criticising the US state to not resort to further pro-imperialist narratives that views state violence as caused by individual bad actors and not a system that cannot exist without blood.

      I see that I am not mistaken, as you have just proved by lashing out based on clearly faulty assumptions about me. I am telling you how your words may appear to others. (At least one other reader took it that way.) If you don’t want feedback in order to reach an audience with your political goals, then I’ll say instead: Wow. Very edge. Much brave.

        Jesus. I don’t know what you expected me to feel from that. You don’t seem like a serious person.
