Yep, and those heros and the apparatus that holds them up as heros has a way of manipulating the narrative to cover for how shitty they were. The Founding Fathers^TM^ and every president we've ever had were and are just as much of blood thirsty psychopaths as Hitler. The difference being that the genocides of expansion were more complete, the narratives more controlled using soft language and double speak, and the current campaigns externalized and reframed through economic trickery and exploitation of the underdeveloped world.

Hitler and the Holocaust didn't have the retail repackaging for the pubic like American Empire does. Not enough treats, too vulgar and direct.

That's my take anyway. Idk, it's late and I'm tired.
