Tell that to the Guatemalans who lost tens or hundreds of thousands of loved ones in a brutal civil war brought on by the coup d'état approved by Eisenhower, which evolved into a Mayan fucking genocide that the US continued to back. All this partially because the old democratically elected regime was disliked by United Fruit Co, an American company.

Yeah rest in piss tbh.
