Not disputing that, but Nazi Germany trumps that in numbers easily. If we take the upper estimates of these you get 5.5 million people (only half of the liberally estimated total of 12 million).
Again, I’m not disputing how horrible this all is, but it’s just not the same. This is decades of US warfare compared to just 6-9 years of Nazi Germany. And the comparison gets even worse considering world population at the time was much lower than it is now.
Bro just admit it, US is the OG third Reich. It was literally founded on Genocide and kept doing it until the Native population became irrelevant.
The Nazis literally planned Lebensraum after being inspired by ‘Manifest Destiny’ and modeled the Nuremberg laws after the Jim Crow. I suggest you read a book.
I am once again telling you to pick up a history book on US imperialism. You fucks just care about atrocities more when it’s inflicted on white people more than when it’s inflicted on colored people. The US literally preserved fascism in the western hemisphere to prevent the spread of Socialism.
I am taking atrocities against people of colour into account. These were genocidal and unequivocally horrible. But one really shouldn’t start understating the crimes of Nazi Germany to make the US look worse. It already looks terrible, comparing it to the Nazis makes it look comparatively better which is the opposite of what you’re trying to achieve (seriously, just the number of people killed in the Soviet Union is insane conceptually).
US atrocities, crimes and genocides can stand on their horrible own and be sufficiently terrible to convince people that the US is shit.
If anything, it exposes how inhumane and cruel the US Foreign policy has been. Why are you so fixated on making the American Empire look less harmful which is contradictory to the historical reality? Are you an Ameriphile?
The post does not go into kill counts as a direct comparison. It simply states that the us will be remembered as worse than nazi germany. So no, that is not the reason. I’m calling out your behavior specifically as problematic.

Sounds like they are in good company, millions is millions, but I’d argue America has committed more genocides.

I’m not disputing US atrocities, I’m saying that claiming it’s worse than the Nazis were will invite heavy, imo legitimate scrutiny.

I hope you take a moment and reflect on why you insist on approaching comparative history in this way.
Maybe it’s because this is a comment thread about comparative history being performed in the same manner?

Because that’s what Dessalines did, and I literally mentioned they probably shouldn’t do that.
