Yeah, the number has to be insanely high. It’s hard enough starting at 1945 with direct military deaths, then you add in all the residual deaths from chemical weapons, depleted uranium, starvation sanctions and embargos, forced sterilization and eugenics, massacres by fascist puppet regimes, agricultural destruction… It’s beyond imagination for me.
And yet, your average amerikkkan seems to think the number is statistically irrelevant, and wants to deport you for defaming the perfect angel savior of global democracy.
I no longer believe in Chomsky’s manufacturing consent. I think the right wingers are correct when they say the media gives the “people” ( I strongly believe the reactionary masses make up the “elite” rather than just billionaires) what they want in the US; the narratives are a license for their violent bigotry as they understand at some level they benefit from the exploitative relationship the US has with the rest of the world (even the vassal states that benefit from this hegemony).
If having the ability to livestream the genocide on their phones for the past couple of years isn’t going to change their minds, then their consent for murder was never manufactured in the first place.
