    You liked the illusion of the USA, but before the World Wars we were a brutal and racist country committing horrible acts of genocide and slavery within our own borders and abroad.

    We decided to end slavery, but not entirely - you’re still a slave if you get convicted of a crime. We decided to acquire other countries and exploit their resources without compensation, but we realized that if we did that like Germany tried, we’d look bad. So, we send secret agents to affect change and install puppet governments who give us what we want.

    The United States has always been a brutal nation of desperate min maxing capitalism and the wake of destruction we have left behind will forever scar the history of our species and, perhaps, might already be the end.

    We cannot forgive ourselves simply because life was comfortable within the empire for those who played by the rules.
