From 1971-2021 US sanctions killed over 28 million people, of whom at least 14 million were children, through starvation and denial of medicine.
In a world that already grows enough food for 10 billion people, 10 million people starve to death every year, a situation that can only exist because the US Empire enforces that injustice with absolutely staggering violence. You literally cannot conceive of how much blood is spilled across every single day of 'peace'. There has never been a more bloodsoaked entity than the United States.
Ah, yes. Either way, it doesn't matter because both suck. One more than the other.
1000 people a day for a year versus almost 2000 a day for fifty years. Ah yeah these things are basically equivalent, I have truly become an enlightened centrist.
Stubbing your toe and being eaten by hyenas "both suck", but you are smoking crack if you think one isn't obviously a million times better than the other.
disagreement = smoking crack
I guess you are smoking crack if you think a better one can't exist
"Oh I was just disagreeing" no you weren't you were equivocating the two like a dumbass and now you're pretending you weren't because even you can see it's a stupid equivalence to draw.
"actual facts don't matter because I have declared that they both 'suck'"
Well it doesn't matter because one doesn't exist anymore. We should focus on the one that still does bad stuff.
ok then tell your other .ml friends to shut the fuck up about the thing that doesn't exist
