    Gaza absolutely dwarfs Ukraine in terms of suffering caused by imperialism.

    Honestly, this is why I increasingly believe that people who say things like the OP don’t actually believe American Imperialism is bad, they’re just doing whataboutism to defend it.

        If you’re going to try to cite a claim, please don’t just drop the Wikipedia pages on the subjects. In fact, don’t cite Wikipedia at all.

          Complicated subjects like this have dozens of citations which often contradict eachother. The great thing about wikipedia is that it shows multiple sources and where they came from. This is a far higher standard of evidence than just cherry-picking one source that agrees with me and pretending that it’s definitive. Meanwhile the only thing you’ve cited is your imagination.

            Yeah, but you don’t actually check any it the citations, nobody who cites Wikipedia does.

            You didn’t even say which part of the Wikipedia articles you were citing
