When it's US atrocities
- we should focus on present
- let bygones be bygones
- it was normal during that time period
- it's progressive compared to present day
- it's russian/china propaganda
- they want to divide us
- russia made us do it
- bad people only exist in USA?
- I wasn't involved in that period,why should it matter to me?
- okay it was bad but look at all the good it has done for our country
- because of us, you're in the most peaceful part of history
- thank you for your service
- what you're going to do about it?
- got mine, fuck you
But when talking about its enemies
- bring up the same atrocities from decades and decades ago, over and over again to brigade the arguments.
This is basic US conditioning.
