      Our country has a long and glorious history of our troops/agents overseas killing random people in horrible accidents and then telling the other country they should get the fuck over it because laws don't apply to Americanshttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1357345658772934658 …

      You remember the mini-scandal when it turned out Psy burned a US flag at a protest in 2002 and all these Republican Gangnam Style fans turned on him? Did you know it's because some soldier ran over two teenage girls on the side of the road with an APC during a training exercise?

      And then were acquitted of all criminal charges in a US-run military court, with South Korean civilians having absolutely no input in the matter? Like I don't care how gung-ho pro-military you are If that happened to two white girls in Iowa, heads would be rolling

      If it happened to two white girls in Iowa, people would *at least understand that people had a right to be upset* Instead because it happened to two South Korean girls it turned into "Ungrateful foreigners spitting on the protection US troops provide them"

      It's amazing and disturbing the way so many Americans I know, and an otherwise quite friendly with, just implicitly value the lives of all non Americans as less and subordinate. Many add on the distinct vibe that murdering you for the countries profit would be perfectly ok

      And I want to be clear, I don't mean for anything connected to security. Just if "America" would somehow gain from it

      They never seem capable of understanding how disturbing that is to a foreigner, even even they're making it clear being a US ally doesn't change the equation

      As John Lennon put it, it really is like being in the time of the Roman Empire and seeing the intrinsic value a Roman citizen's life has over a non-citizen's

      I had a whole conversation with a Republican shithead who believed very strongly that as an American citizen he had a fundamental duty to care about the lives of all American citizens and, correspondingly, a duty NOT to put any value on foreigners' lives by comparison

          He explicitly said that the whole point of America existing as a nation was that every American should be prepared to sacrifice the lives of a hundred, a thousand, a million, ALL non-Americans to save the life of just one American And if you wouldn't, you're betraying America

          One of my friends got mad at him and said "My own parents didn't even become US citizens until recently, while I was a US citizen from birth Should I have only started valuing their lives when they took the oath? Should I care about my US relatives more than my non-US ones?"

          Good thing Americans never leave America or else that might lead to Americans also dying from carelessness. Or maybe even the GOP might say sacrificing Americans was okay as long as America was benefiting somehow. Then he'd have to confront his own biases! /s

          Well, he was a neocon who believed very strongly in America maintaining an ability to "project force globally", specifically such that there would be no place in the world an American citizen wouldn't have all the rights of an American citizen no matter where they live
