    So do you condemn the genocide on Japan and native Americans by USA or not?

    Dunno. I do know that two black men were arrested in Japan two weeks ago and face three years in prison. John Somali and his cohort went around on public transport and mocked the Japanese about Hiroshima and Nagasaki while livestreaming. They apparently thought the American "genocide" on Japan was a big joke and thought rubbing the noses of the Japanese in it would make them go viral. In America, we let this kind of crap fly because we are defeated country, the Japanese are not a defeated country and will actually defend their honor. Gundam (a native American youtuber with many strong friendships with the Japanese people) details the story below. The story upset him pretty badly.

    Genocide on Japan? You mean the country who attacked us first? Hehe. The country we helped rebuild after we defeated them for attacking us FIRST? They’re lucky we showed mercy. Or wouod have preferred far more death on both sides on a prolonged land war?

    And do you condemn every people that became a country by assimilating or killing the residents prior to moving in? Do you condemn all the native American tribes who wiped out other tribes and whoever lived there prior? Of course not.

    Those two bombs were not the only time that our policy was to slaughter gigantic numbers of civilians, with zero chance of reduction in the military power of our opposition.

    And you wonder why the Palestinian uprising has so much support.

    The talk in the pubs leaned heavily towards the Israelis getting what they deserved. I was shocked by this narrative which is the opposite of what the mainstream media portrays. Perhaps the public are starting to reject the mainstream news channels.

    Only animals support abducting women, children and old people.

    Good think Egypt will now enforce their blockade on Gaza.

    The "agenda" white supremacists push? Is there any doubt in your mind what that agenda is? You actually want me to "prove" what the white supremacist's agenda is?

    I'm not sure what point you're trying to make but, whatever it is, it's weird.

    What nonsense! Racism is about discrimination AGAINST a minority group. Not in favor of one.

    No wonder you baselessly accused me of being racist, and can't even say WHY. You don't know what racism MEANS. You have too much to learn, and I have no interest in teaching it to you. So try to learn what you can before making absurd comments like these.

    Anyone can be a victim of racism.

    Not just non-white people.

    Only non-white people in this country. White people can be victims of prejudice but not racism. White people (especially white Christian males) enjoy privileges and advantages that non-white people don't. This is how the word "racism" is defined in Sociology and Anthropology and.... until not long ago when white supremacists started attempting to alter the meaning of the word, in everybody's vocabulary.

    In war, each side will commit attrocities unfortunately, it's best not to take sides and be objective. Some of the torture tactics used by NATO and Israel are equally reprehensible.

    Isn't being in favor of one a backhanded way of saying you are against another?

    No!!! Why would you think it's a binary choice? White males are adequately represented in positions of power. Why would you think that attempting to do the same for black females (or any other minority), even for a few months, would change that?

    So you are saying that the only way you achieve your perfect society is to have proportional representation of every group in every thing. Since there are a virtually unlimited number of potential combinations of people, are you going to have a government agency that oversees this distribution?

    You have an unbelievably negative view of people. You truly believe that people can only represent the interests of their own kind. Thank God you didn't choose to be a physician!

    I have no idea what "a perfect society" is. Sounds kinda binary. I CAN tell you what a BETTER society may be like. It's one in which we do what we can (and we don't do what we can't) to have as many groups as possible represented. Simple! No need to run around in circles shouting and screaming because you think you'll lose your privilegies. You won't!

    NOW we have arrived at THE difference between socialists and those who believe in freedom. You CANNOT tell what is better. ONLY the collective wisdom of the population [through thorough discourse] can tell what is better.

    THIS has been the MAIN lesson of the last several hundred years and why top-down governance DOES NOT WORK!!

    Sure I can! We ALL can! Or, at least, that's the assumption each of us makes when we opine in this forum. It's what this forum is FOR. Usually the person who provides arguments has a distinct advantage above those who just say "you cannot tell what is better". Normally we don't pay much attention to those.

    You appear to be unfamiliar with the numerous socialist democracies around the world who have such a system by virtue of the collective wisdom of the population.
