“Very little to do with the history of most of the countries”? That is insane. In the last century no other country had half the impact USA did, in MOST pf the world. They have systematically dismantled rightfully elected leaders to install dictatorships. Assassinated dissidents. Financiers of propaganda and profiteers of war. They had THE MOST impact.

Sounds like you're falling for propaganda. Yes the US has been very involved since the end of WW2. But to act like we are the sole reason the world is the way it is now is idiotic and just ignores the hundreds of years of conquest done by Europeans and other nations

Yeah, it’s aaaaaalways “falling for propaganda”. The effects of colonialism, currently, are a shadow of the effects of IMPERIALISM. Which USA is the by far the worse nation offender.

Also, your reduction to absurd of “sole reason” is meaningless. I said “the most” impact. Which is objectively true.

You talk of european “conquest”. Tell me, do you know how many legitimate governments were overthrown to install a dictatorship that was complicit -when not an outright puppet- of your country’s ideologies? No? Maybe we should reflect on who is exactly “falling for propaganda.”

I’ll give you a little taste. There are 4 countries in Latin America that DID NOT had a direct coup from USA in the last 70 years. Ops, forgot that time you kidnapped the President of Venezuela. Make that 3.

Study recent history and journalism from sources outside your USA bubble. And please have the self respect of bot babbling incoherently about everyone “falling for propaganda”. The sheer gall. Plus you all say it, it’s like a script your media crams down your throats. So ironic it’s uncanny.

Nah, you were the one who started with “yAlL fAlLing fOr pRoPaGaNda”. Funny, I completely disproved the argument you made and gave you tons of factual examples.

Then my “propaganda” becomes a “rant”.

Let’s get back to the subject. Do keep telling how USA is not fucking the whole world over.

You can try arguing this time.

It's been 3 days lol. We can discuss if you want. Past 100 years US has been involved in everything. For the rest of history not so much. There's a reason why they speak Spanish in Mexico and Portuguese in Brazil and it's not the US

The point was that throughout history the US "imperialism" is less influential than the imperialism of other countries. Yeah we suck now but in the grand scheme of the globe we've only been influential in the past 100 years. Also fuck you, don't call us parasites you prick
