minus-squareCowbee [he/they]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 hours agoBit of a non-sequitor, I could bring up Kent State and use that to say the US isn’t a democracy. The US has a far worse track record than the Soviets.

minus-squareCowbee [he/they]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 hours agoNumerous mass killings and/or genocides in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Guatemala, East Timor, Cambodia, and much, much more.
minus-squareambidexterity@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 hours agoI thought we were talking about US/USSR killing their own civilians… And wtf with Cambodia? It was communists who killed 3 million ppl there
minus-squareCowbee [he/they]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 hours agoCan’t really call a civil war against Tsarists and fascists “killing their own civilians.” Moreover, the US bombed Cambodia more than any other country on the planet. Pol Pot wasn’t a Communist, but he was stopped by the Vietnamese Communists.
