      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.

      Their violence is also largely attributable to the USA’s history of backing fascist coups in them.

      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.

      Your whataboutism doesn’t even work here. The USA was born in native American genocide, an international slave trade, and rampant settler colonial capitalism. At least the next time when you’re doing racist dogwhistles on lemmy pick a country that the US 24-hour news cycle wants you to derail about like Russia and China you absolute tool. Blaming the global south was so Cold War ago.
