  Iraq War, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, 90% civilian death rate from drone strikes? Yemen and supporting the Saudis who are much worse than anything you think of in terms of the CCP? Coups in Iran, Latin America, elsewhere? For profit prisons denying people basic rights and what's basically slave labor, police killing unarmed citizens, horrific COVID response that's guaranteed to have led to preventable deaths?

  US prison system, law enforcement system. BLM movement. We do systematically repress them to lower classes, and also kill them directly (through a violent law enforcement system), and indirectly (deaths of despair, deaths from crime as a result of systematic poverty).

That doesn't mean we shouldn't improve the system. > and indirectly (deaths of despair, deaths from crime as a result of systematic poverty). I encourage you to fight poverty and the best way to do it is through donating to meaningful charities. That doesn't seem unique to the US though.

  Have we already forgotten the Iraq War? Syria? Lybia? Vietnam? All of these wars based on lies that covered for profits and killed millions?
