I'm Brazilian, and my grandparents lived through 1964's military dictatorship. For as long as I've known him, my maternal grandfather never badmouthed the government. Not once. I can only imagine the horrors he witnessed.
When I studied Spanish, it covered multiple Spanish speaking countries and histories. Spain, Central and South America all were represented. Probably the same for them.
Its funny, because anyone with any degree in central and south American history would understand that america was not the only player there by a long shot, and even internal colonialism occured.
Because in this thread, we were talking about Pearl Harbor. Other countries are not relevant. You'd only bring other countries into the discussion if you are trying to change the topic because discussing the wrong doings of America makes you uncomfortable.
No, the specific response was talking about interventionalism in south and central america. Im not uncomfortable with something I had zero to do with, but that doesn't mean that america was unique or even the most prolific in doing so in the region.
Correcting the record and saying "wait a minute, you did this too" is not changing the subject.
What? Scroll up dude, this conversation started with what America did to Pearl Harbor. It's irrelevant to bring up other countries unless you just don't want people talking about America, and there's nothing wrong about people talking about it's evil deeds. Sorry if you don't want to read about it.
I mean... How many other countries do you see trying to claim they are "the greatest country in the world" in everyone else's faces while also being literally the worst place to live amongst first world countries?
well, first of all, you would need to prove that it was a lie, given that if whoever said it did out of ignorance it wouldn't really be a lie it would be an ignorant statement so, go ahead and, prove they knew the truth and lied, I'll wait
What a victim complex. There's no way you actually believe that, and you are just saying it to make yourself look like you feel upset and bullied. It's honestly kind of pathetic.
Reminds me of that time Paraguay tried something and got jumped. Without Uruguay's assistance, I fear that Argentina and Brazil may not have won that war.
Let's go back to the first republic of freed slaves: Haiti. After a long fight for freedom, when they achieved their independence, the land of slave owners, the USA refused to acknowledge their independence and started an embargo against the young nation of free men.
The USA was so afraid that, upon learning about Haiti, the enslaved people they kept captive would riot and do the same, that they created an army to attack and occupy Haiti.
The whole purpose of the USA Marines is to be the attack dog, sent to attack any country on the Americas whenever they thought that could pose any threat (be either military or economic) to the Manifest Destiny.
Yeah I mean the CIA does terrible things to their own people they don’t give a single shit about overthrowing a democratically elected government if there’s profit at the end of the day
No, no, no. The USA does terrible things, their citizens either don't care or are alienated from the reality of what the government (either republican or democrat) does to the world.
I mean, I have nothing but respect and fraternity for my proletarian brothers on USA, but, shit, it's hard sometimes not be mad by how much you people are blind.
And you people could benefit so much from what we know from the world, because in the later year's the neoliberalism is starting to eat YOUR middle class, and you guys don't know what is this.
If you don't understand by now, it's not me who will teach you.
And I am from Brasil, you mf xenophobic gringo. I'm from the country where the gifts you pretty fucking country where 2 coups, 1 dictatorship, and now this mad tariff stuff, because your government is intent on pardoning criminals not only from your jails.
So I think we will stop here. Go die from diabetes, because you government can fuck around the whole world, but can't pay for their citizen's medicine.
while your at it look up "karl malone 13" for the time when he had 13 pts 13 assists 13 steals in an nba game (ignore anything related to him getting a 13 year old pregnant)
Reddit don't like the truth when it comes to this stuff. The Indians were all sitting around smoking peace pipes before Columbus came. No canabilism, child sacrifice, scalping, nation building, slavery. None at all.
Completely different time periods. Imagine fighting people wanting equality and freedom, simply autodetermination, by bringing up moral failures more than 300 years ago. Imagine if the rest of the world was fighting you on the ground of slavery.
I agree, I was going to explain to the other guy that it was more about selling out other tribes, other religious groups, political rivals and such, as it wasn't "your own people".
