Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

        It was literally founded on settler-colonialism. Just because this resulted in such a profound and extensive destruction of countless peoples that are nearly wiped out today doesn’t make it less colonial.

            There were many colonies, lol. There was also Settler-Colonialism. Read about US history some time.

              Yeah, and of the actual colonies America had, they were a tiny size/number compared to European ones. All of India, most of China, all of South America lol

                I never said European countries were not colonizers, all I stated was that the US is a genocidal settler-colonial state and you can only do whataboutisms.

                  I said,

                  Not really on a scale comparable to Europe, no.

                  And I’m the one who said the US was genocidal, not you. Don’t steal my woke-points, win your own fair and square.
