Are we the baddies??



Every American needs to look at themselves in the mirror and seriously ask themselves this question. Because we have all benefited from being citizens of the American empire. Carpet bombing entire countries has been done in our names using our tax dollars. Killing innocent civilians abroad. Resources extraction and environmental ecocide. People are freaking out now because the madman dictator Trump has taken the machinery that we routinely exported abroad and turned it in on itself against it's own citizens.

The United States and Western Europe have been doing "Nazi" tactics worldwide since the concept of global imperialism really took hold in the 15th century. Native American genocide. African American slave trade and genocide. Just to name a few. We are the baddies.
