    Name one period in history when the American state wasn’t going about doing the most heinous shit.

    The USA is at it’s core a settler colony, always has been. There’s a sickness at the heart of someone who lives on stolen land. You see it in America, in Israel, south Africa, and countless other examples across history. Any time you have people who can justify coming in and stealing another people’s home and call it their own home you get this tension between people with half a conscience who try to limit the worst effects of their government and people who don’t give a single fuck and want nothing but comfort at the expense of others’ suffering at the hands of the state.
