Yes. Most of the 'west' is though. To be honest some of the 'east' is too. Most governments have done this or equally bad things. This isn't to excuse the 'US' more highlighting that there is a problem with building a group of people into an organisation that gets to make all the decisions about both a certain group or certain groups of people supposedly under their care, and who make decisions about how they should 'deal' with other groups of people.
[Sarcasm] It's almost like making arbitrary lines on pieces of paper and then isolating yourself somewhat or completely from people outside of those lines and being selfish instead of sharing is a bad idea.
All states are bad, but the US is terrible even when compared with most other nations
Sure... they are pretty bad. We are not sure if saying they are worse than other states really does anything or not if all states are bad.
There are nations that were not founded expressly as settler colonial states that enslave and commit genocide. The US is another level of awful. Let's hope it dissolves within our lifetime.
Thank you for explaining and yes we completely agree.
Are you speaking for a hive mind or are you royalty?
Yes, we are a mind hive (the 'opposite' to a hive mind). To be more specific we are plural as it says on our profile which anybody can read on here.
There are profiles on this thing? Huh. Anyway good to know.
We wouldn't say length of existence of anything has much correlation to how much 'badness' it can achieve, especially not a 'nation'.
Especially not one that was specifically conceived as a genocidal settler colonial project built on the backs of enslaved people
