Do not demonize people in the past who do not meet current norms. There will never be anybody who will meet those standards.

So you believe the entirety of the United States' existence is an affront to humanity as it's very foundation is as evil as Nazism, right? Nothing America ever stood for was any better rhan the worst of humanity.

It is telling that you can so lightly equate my comment to waving off Nazism as if across the developed world Nazism was the norm of the time. Yes, most peoples in the European culture were naturally Nazis, and only a few morally sound people were against it. I see your troll... And I set your straw man on fire.

considering that

  1. it was founded on genocide
  2. it was built by slavery
  3. it still has not completely outlawed slavery
  4. lebensraum was explicitly based on manifest destiny
  5. it has killed far more people than the nazis ever managed

yes, the usa is an affront to humanity and is on par with the third reich
