American exceptionalism is the belief that word special, for good or bad. It’s just pouring on a different kind of Americans exceptionalists, the one who think our trajectory is something new.

Also, we do. A lot of us do…

You are making things up, things that I haven’t said. Most countries have stories of genocide of one people or another. That is not saying it is inevitable, it’s just history.

normalizing genocides of mostly European origin

Several of which you stated were which weren’t…

Counting genocides perpetrated against a population as proof of genocide being common by almost every population is just the intellectual bankruptcy cherry on top.

I was not. You twisted the truth like the korean one, and assumed I was talking about different ones than I was. More however, I said countries–not populations, which would be quite the different subject. Plenty have primarily been targeted by genocides. You underestimate how much genocide takes place, and continually make things up to pretend it’s just a European problem. Wholly ignoring that one of the active present ongoing genocides is being perpetrated by china.

…yeah because you said genocide was special to western countries… I’m not some “the whites are getting genocided” person. You denied the genocides perpetrated by other countries and said it was special to typical white countries with a very clear implication.

You started this saying that most countries had been FOUNDED on genocides

I clarified in another comment I meant had done genocide, not founded on it. And yes, most. Not every.

it’s very normal that a nation has had an uninterrupted body of government after they either completely or partially eradicated the native population

I’m not saying it’s good. Quite the opposite in fact. I want People to just understand it’s not some united states special. However, it is much more more typical than people want to think it is

I never referred to it as unavoidable. That was you making things up. It is avoidable, as long as we work together to stop it

These countries get on their high horse when they have an exceptionally genocidal history.

My point was meant to point out how countries with genocidal histories like to point out others as the ones to avoid repeating examples of rather than their own history.

You’re being straight up racist assuming it’s only white western countries commit genocides.

Somali, Chile, Argentina, south Africa, Japan, Korea, China. It’s horrifyingly common no matter what area.

Also, what part of genocide do you think is about being civilized…?

…wait, you thought this was a defense? I’m sorry, perhaps I worded it poorly then.

What makes you think it’s not true? A gander through the history of genocide shows how horrifyingly common it is

I was more referring to general genocide than specifically native populations–but even that there is no shortage of countries like Australia, Canada, and japan that have done as such.

There is a depressingly high number.

I hate to tell you this, but basically every country has the same story, except the very young. They don’t need to learn from our history; they should learn from their own.

It’s a small sacrifice for the betterment of the world,

*Betterment of humanity.

Imagine portraying trump as anything but dementiaed. You know he posts a about razing all of gaza to the ground to build a resort, right?
