“Israel” really wants to dethrone nazi Germany as the most openly genocidal fascist state huh.
No wonder zionists and nazis have a history of cooperating. Might as well be the same thing.
Excuse me, the US is still the king of genocide.
They try to not be open about it though, at least to its own population, unlike “israel”.
It’s basically a US colony in Palestine though so ig it’s a moot point.
No, not really. There’s a lot of whitewashing of US history, especially in textbooks. If you ask the average American they wouldn’t even call anything the US did “genocide.”
I recommend reading Lies My Teacher Told Me.
That’s what I mean. The US is built on genocide and colonization just like “israel”, but they try to not be open about it.
Oh no that’s new. Back when the genocide was in a more active phase and there were “Indian Wars” they were very explicit about it.
But today, you’re right, they just teach a few key atrocities and handwave the other hundred million. I must have misread lol
I think that’s just the different stages of settler-colonial development.

Brits and Spaniards didn’t kill like 50 million people for you to give the crown to an upstart
That genocide isn’t the only genocide the US has been part of, either as a direct genocidier or indirectly by supporting the genocidal regime.
No one is gonna take this crown from the US!
Iirc ghenkis khan has everyone else beat.
Depends on the estimates you use.
No it doesn’t. It’s not even close. In terms of the worst genocides in history by death toll, the U.S. doesn’t even make the top 10 list. Same with a more general list of anthropogenic disasters by death toll.
Leave that hurr durr US is big bad amirite shit on reddit.
Do you… Think that list is authoritative?
The population of Indigenous Americans is estimated to have decreased from approximately 145 million to around 10 million.
135 million.
Not all of that was the US, the old empires of France and Spain and England played a huge role, but since it’s founding the US has killed millions along with Canada and Mexico. Disease played a large role, but much of that was deliberately spread which muddies the estimates.
And that’s just one of the genocides the US was involved in. There have been many others.
Do you… want to provide more authoritative sources? Or even just start with one? So far you’ve cited zero.
Remember, your original assertion was “the US is still the king of genocide.” Assuming your vague phrase of “king of genocide” means total number of people killed, then show an authoritative source that proves it, then we can talk.

My attention was originally brought to this by the book Lies My Teacher Told Me - I listened to an audiobook so sadly I can’t really search it for the relevant passage without investing a bunch of time. Instead, here’s the relevant Wikipedia article which covers it. “The population of Indigenous Americans is estimated to have decreased from approximately 145 million to around 7-15 million between the late 15th and late 17th centuries, representing a decline of around 90-95%.”
Where is your list, or sources? Or should we just believe queermunist who I’m guessing is more sympathetic to communist nations?

I think you misspelled China. Reddit being completely filled with imperial core propaganda is one of the main reasons a lot of us came to Lemmy.
Gonna throw a hat in the ring here for the British Empire as the king of genocide.
Hot take, but I think we got a dethronement.
Please, do tell, how is the USA the most genocidal country on this earth?
