America is genocidal, sure, but so is every single other society in the history of civilization. America is exceptional because of the technology and the art it contributed to genocide, which is the goal of every civiliztion, remember. Pointing out the difference in scale of US atrocities just prevents us working together for greater justice.

      Well, if the purpose of the dunk tank is to be anything more than a bunch of alt-reality neck beards complimenting each other on their fragrance, claims, reasons, and evidence might actually come up at some point? Imagine – I come to conversation with questions. That actually might be part of the definition of discourse. Of course the dunk tank isn’t discourse; it’s a dating website. You folks are so happy with one another.
