Shoutout to @afellowkid@lemmygrad.ml for their excellent effortpost response. Always good to remember in situations like this, going to the effort to actually refute and answer and educate is important not to fix the dweeb they are responding to, but so that anyone else who comes to see the interaction can see the stark difference between bullshit and the slightest research

I think what bothered me the most about him (even more than the genocide apologia), was the absolutely unshakeable smug American exceptionalism. He was certain that the world couldn’t do anything without the US, and we should all just be grateful for what we have.

Okay, look. The CIA did a lot of bad things to south america. But that was in the 60s, a lifetime ago! And they probably thought they were doing good stuff, they were hard men living in hard times! Things are different now, and the US Government deserves our uncritical rabid devotion!

Oh, I’m well aware. I wanted to put my pointiest stiletto right through his tongue. He’s probably also one of the charming people who insist that colonisation made life better for the natives.

It’s true, before the founding of the US everyone starved to death, lying about in fields wondering what the hell these fat turnips were.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.
