It was a genuine question believe it or not. And “yes” would have been sufficient.

    Europe: creates the transatlantic slave trade, plantation system, European exceptionalism (white man’s burden), gets the ball rolling on the Native American genocide, and invents fascism (Mussolini).

    How could the US do this!?!?

    Trying to extricate the US’ culpability would be irresponsible, but I feel like your comment is shifting blame away from the fact that it’s one big twisted knot, and Europe is also twisted up in it.

    As the kids say, I learned it from you, dad!
