    I too condemn the United States. Unfortunately my words carry little weight.

      Our efforts, whether as a collective or as individuals, will carry the torch forward though (and on a greater scale build up to condemnations by entities as massive as the states of China/Russia). The macro is made up of the micro, however small and useless it may feel.

      If you ask me? As long as I live, I will carry that flame- that flame that condemns and exposes the US and its Anglo settler-colonial brethren and framework as the genocidal, imperialist, irreconcilable evils that they are. If I have anything to say about it (and I do) it shall be known as such to all those I can spread awareness to as well; and even when and as the empire crumbles, it go in the dustbin history alongside Nazi Germany, imperial Japan, and the various other European empires- and it will be remembered, at that, as the inspiration for all the settler-colonial genocides they committed (which it is- AmeriKKKan settler ideology even influenced its British progenitors to go all-in on the specific “complete replacement” settler genocide approach) and as the most genocidal, destructive, and wretched nation in history; a nation which went so far as to dream of and seek to inflict eternal war and division upon the rest of the world, which sought what no other had come near before (global hegemony) and actively threatened not only the lives of billions, but the entire species and even the biosphere in the process.

      I’m just one person, and so are you. But the same sentiment is felt across billions- it’s even felt among an increasing number of those within AmeriKKKa itself, those who are waking up and realizing that the US regime promises nothing but death, destruction, deprivation, and dehumanization not only for the rest of the world, but even the majority of their own citizenry, and even for its traditional base of support (whites). The resentment, the awareness, and the resolve is to be found amongst an increasing mass of voices- in a very real sense, as just as “never again” for the Holocaust, also applies to the current Holocaust being inflicted on the Palestinians, so too does it apply to “never again” for the AmeriKKKan settler-colonial, hegemonic, genocidal project which inspired, created the conditions for, funded, armed, and has backed this genocide every step of the way; so too does it apply to “never again” for the US regime which has for the nth time revealed its true face as a white supremacist, terrorist state with no restraint nor qualms on how far it will go to eradicate and enslave the rest of the world (and increasingly, its own citizens).

      Humanity is learning from this, and humanity is moving past this. It’s our job to remember, to speak the condemnation and pass it down, and to act in what little ways we can- which add up to larger movements as a whole- to disarm and dissolve the empire. And when we’re done- whether it takes generations past us or not- the US will face justice, the Zionists will face justice, reparations will be made, and the US and the genocidal settler-imperialist system and ideologies it has championed will be nothing more than a shitstain on history, forever warned about, forever memorialized (as a shitstain), to ensure its crimes never happen again.

      And that’s where we’re headed, IMO. Someday ol’ Genocide Joe, Netanyahu, and the whole crew will be remembered not only akin to Hitler and Goebbels, but as part and parcel of the same monstrous imperialist package, one exemplified and embodied by the US. Someday there will be statues about this, and the Zionists and the AmeriKKKan regime will occupy the same place in the greater cultural imagination of the world, that the Nazis, or zombies (for pop culture), or all sorts of other monstrous entities hold; and someday, if we play our cards right, and the rest of the world does as well, they will be remembered- over generations- as the scourges on humanity that in a very real and personal sense inflicted such horrors, indignities, and hardship upon the majority of the world.

      The US represents just 0.5% of the world population. The “international community” in whole, around 10%. And that’s with extensive immigration from the global south, and with all sorts of populations within the imperial cores to begin with who have good reason to hold the ancestral grudge, the awareness of the evil of the western imperialist order- descendants of slaves, of refugees, of indigenous peoples who still to this day suffer genocide, etc. And constantly, the empire victimizes even its own, more and more so- each day, tens of thousands if not tens of millions of new grudges are accumulated even within the imperial cores themselves, memories to be held onto and cherished as important lessons as to the depravity of the current regime and the need for it not only to end, but to be dismantled such that it may never rise again or see the light of day. Time is on our side; facts are on our side; the very nature of humans, to seek human dignity and equality, is on our side. Our words carry weight in that sense. And the end result of all this (though whether the species will live to see it) will be that justice will be seen, even if that justice comes in the form of extinction- the US regime will pay; the genocidaires, thieves, and liars who have sustained the empire will pay (even if that is a matter of condemning them as they rot in the grave, or- ideally, even as an atheist- burn in hell); and the ideology shall be destroyed, or it shall destroy itself (and the entire world in the process).
