Jaxyon posted:You mean the Germany that took notes on how to be evil from America? "Writing eugenics texts is even more morally evil than organizing the Holocaust" seems like a bad argument to make that point. Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Nov 16, 2023 |

Yeah and if I was making that argument, instead of the "Germany based it's treatment of the Jews on Jim Crow, slavery camps, and the indigenous genocide" one, you'd have a great point!

On a purely practical level, the US has only had about a quarter of a millennium to do bad things. Most of Europe and Asia has had way, way longer to get a head start

I just think any argument about how uniquely evil something is where you are starting with the premise that the Holocaust is obviously not as bad as X is not a great move rhetorically to make that point.

Thanks for the advice, I hope whoever is making the arguments you are responding to sees this.

Antigravitas posted:I've observed the same. American Eceptionalism seems to be completely hardwired and impossible to deprogram them from. I think that part of the issue is that American culture is so insistent on it being an exceptional shining city on a hill, that when people realize it's not they somewhat naturally fall into the zeal of the convert. It takes a while to chill out when you first realize it's bullshit.

Lol that you think caste and segregation based on any or all arbitrary criteria are American inventions. Much less slavery and indigenous genocide which are recorded as far back as there are records. Like, did you spend even thirty seconds considering how absurd arguing that these things are uniquely American is?

Much less slavery and indigenous genocide which are recorded as far back as there are records. They aren't, but Hitler specifically cited American slavery and extermination of the indigenous population in his unpublished second book as one of his major inspirations for those things

John Boehner becoming a weed lobbyist who attends Taylor Swift concerts to try and get celebrities to give him money for weed (and tobacco) is one of the weirdest twists in modern politics. His current job title is "Chair of the National Cannabis Roundtable." haveblue posted:Oone of his hands isn't visible Click the picture to see the full image. He has a plastic cup full of wine.
