I have learned to never expect a citation. That there will be none (other then more opiniones), and then a spin off to another direction laying out another whopper that hopefully covers up for the first one.
After 3 or 4 tries in trying to pin down any claims, I simply gave up. The entire purpose of this thread is vomiting up endless complaints against the US being behind every evil thing in the last 200 years, and has nothing to do with history at all.
Although in a great many of our "left leaning" colleges, it would probably pass off as a scholarly work as part of a liberal arts degree, like a BA in Socially Advanced Census Taking. Or maybe even as part of the History requirement for a Teaching Degree. But as a true scholarly work, it is a load of coprolite.
And notice the original posting was not even "original", simply lifted from another source. And the OP absolutely accepts all of them 100% verbatim. I may for example enjoy and worship the writings of other famous philosophers in the past, like Joshua bar Joseph, Karl Marx, and Ron Paul. But only a brainless idiot would accept 100% of everything they say without any kind of internal reservation.
There are times where a poster will make a statement that at least sounds superficially logical.
This ain't one of them.
And I agree... Just another thump in the never-ending drumbeat of "US BAD" from this poster.
