Sorry its been longer than it should have been for an article, things moved very fast while I don’t really have much to add beyond “what that guy said.”

At least we now know how many it takes to create an outrage:
white murricans - one
non-white murricans - dozens
non-white non-murricans - tens of thousands
Try millions.
Isn’t it interesting how so many people were saying there is no way to mobilize Americans to a general strike or to want to pick up arms against their government…until a fraction of the violence that the empire inflicts abroad (and even domestically but done to immigrants and minorities) year after year happened to hit one of them, now suddenly everyone is outraged?
I was basing my number on the Gaza genocide. When murricans got unruly the body count had already been comfortably beyond 60.000.
On a longer timescale, you are absolutely correct, the US empire killed millions and it resulted in barely a beep at home.
