You should probably study history a bit better, the US joined the war after the attack of pearl harbor, for months before that the American people wanted nothing to do with the war, commonly referring to it, as a European problem.
Dday happened in June of 1944, the concentration camps weren't discovered by the US until 1945.
So the idea that Dday was related to the US people knowing of the war crimes of the nazi isn't really accurate.
America knew of the Khmer RougeKhmer Rouge and did nothing as countless were slaughtered, the same with stains actions in Russia.
We are a social species, but part of that is localization we care about our selves more than strangers, and unless our government has a political motivation, we don't go to war over it.
I'm not enabling criminal behavior I'm just stating the reality of the world today.
As for the reporting crime in our. Neighborhood feel free to read many of the past accounts, or studies show that for the most part show that if reporting a crime that doesn't directly effect them, but will cause them a minor inconvenience, that people typically dont.
I encourage you to reevaluate your perspective after studying a bit of history and studying sociology.
I'm not advocating we sweep these crimes under the rug, but that we stop pretending that they are changing the world.
- fit2rule 7y agoI don't share your fatalist view, nor do I think your 'realism' is anything more than a justification for continued bad behaviour. The world doesn't change when someone says "that's how its always been". It hasn't always been the case that the US can get away with its war crimes - however I believe this argument would be better executed if either one of us had actual experience with being the loser in a war crime situation. My experience with refugees from America's illegal wars has definitely prompted me to take a look at what I've been ignoring about my own culture. I have to wonder if you would be so flip about America's war crimes, if you'd had any experience with the results themselves. It would be a pity if that's the only way your apathy would be moved.
