        Right, but the point is this has been a hallmark of conquering nations for thousands of years, and the denialism goes hand in hand with it.

          Whataboutism at its finest. Par for the course for Muricans who believe they are king of the hill in everything but just can’t admit that also includes gun deaths, Black maternal mortality rates, homelessness and healthcare expenditures.

          When we’re discussing an American singer talking about American issues, and reactions by other Americans pointing out American history? Yes. Because it’s not relevant to the discussion at hand. It’s whataboutism and counterproductive. Again, we’re specifically talking about America here. Stay on topic.
