The US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, and its government is thus directly or indirectly responsible for a large part of the suffering in the world right now — be it directly through wars, genocides/massacres, sanctions, embargoes, or indirectly through economic imperialism or neocolonialism — so yes, that should be the first country anyone comes up with. Probably also because I happen to be from one of its victim countries.

China has an active genocide

All claims of this come from imperial core countries or "independent" orgs funded by its corporations.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and delegates from dozens of Global South countries approve of China's handling of the ETIM (a problem deliberately created by the US through Afganistan by the way) and deny western claims. This lines up with what the hundreds of millions of annual tourists to the region say.

Between the western govs responsible for killing, and continuing to kill, millions of muslims in the past few decades alone throughout Africa, Middle-East, Asia, and global south countries without a recent history of doing so (they are the victims rather), I for one know which not to trust.

Russia

The US colony has killed three times more civilians in its genocide in the past few months than the Russian military has in 2 years in its proxy war with the US. This isn't remotely comparable.

incredibly wealthy own the country

I wish people just said "the capitalist class"...

Makes it more obvious what the problem is and What Is To Be Done (working class revolution and overthrow).

? The most recent one is the ongoing genocide in Palestine that the US and its colony is committing.

No, "israel" isn't a separate entity. It was formed as a general western settler colony in Palestine using british colonization tactics, and has been functioning as an american one.

I like how some people are claiming americans are aware of this lol

If most americans were sufficiently aware and organizing against it accordingly (if they're not organizing, they're not aware enough) the imperialist gov would already have been toppled.

The hardest part of establishing a socialist state isn't dealing with material conditions... it's dealing with the US constantly trying to overthrow it even if you're on the other side of the planet.

Honestly, seeing enough of their posts and discussions over the months turned me from left-leaning to a full-blown commie
