The US Is the World’s Worst Human Rights Violator - Global Research

The US government has always been the first to call out other nations with poor track records on human rights abuses. Invariably they are th

Global Research

Oh my! There must be a mistake!

Why, the US Government and Corporate News Media elites tell me North Korea and China are the world's worst Human Rights Violators!

Clearly someone's made a BIG MISTAKE!

LOL

The United States is and has been for over a Century the world's WORST Violator of Human Rights.

If YOU support US Imperialism instead of DEFENDING the Sovereign Rights of the DPRK, the Socialist Republic of Cuba, the People's Republic of China, Venezuela, Iran and other Nations to exist. What you're really supporting us the World's Historically Most Violent Empire.

You are supporting:

The World's largest Concentration Camps called Prisons. Of which the US has well over 2 MILLION PRISONERS along with the Highest level of Prisoners Per Capita in the World.

Tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children locked up in separate Concentration Camps the US Calls Immigrant "Detention Centers"

Coups in Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Chile, Guatamala, El Salvador, Venezuela, Iran, Bolivia, South Korea, Panama, Grenada, Nicaragua (attempted), and others just in the last Half Century. With two Coups; Bolivia and Venezuela (Failed) this year ALONE.

Regime Change Wars costing MILLIONS of Lives of innocent Civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.

Secret Drone Wars costing Untold Innocent Lives in Yemen, Somalia, Mali, Chad, Nigeria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Ethiopia and likely many more we CAN'T PROVE but know about.

Training and Support of Death Squads by the CIA throughout Central and South America. These Death Squads are trained in Virginia TO THIS DAY.

Indiginous Human Rights Violations for Fossil Fuels, and/or support for Foreign Governments engaged in Human Rights Violations and treaty Violations with Indiginous Populations across the World and Domestically.

GET THE HINT YET???

If you give a shit or pretend to give a shit about the murder, illegal imprisonment, War Crimes and Human Rights Violations, Oppression against Vulnerable Populations across the World. Your best bet is to start with the UNITED STATES which is responsible for more War Crimes, Coups, and Human Rights Violations than the REST OF THE WORLD COMBINED!

Look in the mirror America. You're FUCKING DISGUSTING

No Marxist should shy away from defending the Right of Socialist Countries to exist.

No matter how hard the Corporate Media and Western Governments try to undermine the DPRK, the fact remains that this little Socialist Nation has managed to defend itself against US invasion, exclusion from Global Trade, Sanctions and Military provocations, and yet is still there, building Socialism independently.

Traditional Korean culture is obviously very different from anything we might easily understand in the West. And certainly Socialism in the DPRK has taken its own peculiar path and form.

But if we are to ever have a successful International Socialist Movement, and have Unity, part of that has to be a nuanced view of the DPRK, along with support for their Right to Exist and their Right to develop Socialism in their own way as determined by the Korean people.

That doesn't mean never allowing the DPRK to be critiqued, we all must be willing to accept criticism and give criticism in good faith. But denying the contributions to Socialism by the DPRK only plays into the hands of the Imperialists and justifies their Military aggression towards the DPRK, their unprovoked Sanctions going back decades before their development of a Nuclear weapons capability, and it ignores the entire history of non-stop interference and aggression towards the affairs of the DRPK and the Korean people.

Colonialism is alive and well. One only needs look at the History of the Korean peninsula to begin to understand why the DPRK has taken the route it has, and many other peculiarities are simply cultural differences that do not excuse people for supporting Imperialist aggression against their Right to Exist and build Socialism based on the Juche idea.

Solidarity to the DPRK and the peoples of the Korean Peninsula 🇰🇵✊

Are you fucking kidding me? You’re quoting the guy who invaded South Korea and their entire political history is just a list of human rights violations on imperialism?

Socialism is a mental illness and needs to be eradicated with extreme prejudice.

Your stupid as fuck aren't you?

Please, do yourself a favor instead of embarrassing yourself and learn your History.

The US invaded North Korea. Repeatedly before Kim Il Sung responded by pushing back the CIA and South Korean troops, and then invading the South which was STOLEN from a United Korea by the US.

So whom was the aggressor??? 🤔🤔🤔

But that's not enough. I'm just going to go all the way and say this. I would rather fight for Socialism in the DPRK than defend America from the repercussions of decades of Imperialism, War Crimes, Regime Change Wars that got my own friends killed or fucked their heads up with PTSD so that Vice President Dick Cheney could cash in on his shares in Halliburton

Go fuck your Imperialism and get the fuck off my blog

In a thread among the comments section of a YouTube video on White Collar crime, someone asked this question:

"Why DOES America treat non-violent drug charges way worse than a guy who robs people of their life savings, wrongfully evict others, etc.?"

I thought I'd share my response, as little justice as it does to a vast array of complex issues and power dynamics. However, I think it's useful for understanding the underlying history that has led the US to the multitudes of social, cultural and political, and economic breakdown we are living through and witnessing today:

America and Capitalism can together be summed up in one quote, “You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”

We treat those who can do nothing to advance ourselves like garbage while rewarding those who act badly if they're in positions of power.

These power dynamics are inherent to laissez-faire Capitalism, which has been literally ingrained into our national id. It's Social Darwinism in it's rawest form.

Racism and drug prohibition both have their roots in the laissez-faire or Neoliberal ideology.

To keep order and prevent revolt from class based exploitation, a scape goat must be used to make the exploited feel better about their own powerlessness. That scape goat started with Indigenous peoples and Black slaves to keep the European indentured servants from revolting and has continued in various forms in America for more than 300 years.

It rears its ugly head most unambiguously in our legal and educational systems, which work in tandem to exclude the vast majority of black and brown citizens by disinvesting from their communities and then incarcerating them for black-market and property crimes.

And that's just a crude summery of an incredibly complex issue.
