@gungasnake,
Quote:Unlike most of the peoples of Europe, the American people cannot be endlessly fucked with by their own government, and the advantage of that is obvious enough and does not require a PhD in history to understand.
Certainly not a PhD or even a grade four ejukeshun. The American people have been endlessly duped by their governments. How could any people with the tiniest semblance of a brain continuously support a government that has been at war for over 90% of its existence?
How could any people with the tiniest semblance of a brain continuously support a government that committed a genocide from before it became a nation until today? And many other smaller, though equally vicious genocides thru the years.
Quote:Most of the grief which has come to ordinary people within the last two centuries has come from their own governments.
Nope, not even close. Tens of millions dead at the hands of the US in Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Cuba, the Philippines, Hawaii, Chile, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, ... tell a far different picture.
