Eh… I don’t know if the US has been around long enough to really grab that title. It kinda depends on who you are laying blame to for the vast majority of the genocide against native Americans. Most of the deaths during the great dying in the Americas happened before the concept of America as a country even began.
If you’re looking at the amount of people killed and adjusted for the comparative populations, it’s probably the Spanish empire. If you are looking at the number of different cultures affected it’s probably the British. I would say America wins the most evil modern empire, but history is pretty brutal and America kinda missed the majority of the age of exploration and the colonial era.
It’s the Western European white supremacist Christian patriarchy. That’s the empire. They can make up all the fancy names of cities, and states, and draw borders and make believe all they want. It’s the same empire.
I would for the most part agree with that. I think you could argue that after “the end of history” in the 90s, you could claim that nations with a white majority in general conglomerated to form an empire for the White Christian patriarchy.
Oh honey. The European empire may have had violent factional disputes within it, but they all shared the same goal and worked to promote it for well over 400 years, if not 600
I was moreso talking about the need to differentiate between the motivations and actions of the Soviet union and the west after WW1 and up until their disillusion in the 90s.
