Ok... Before that slavery and after that hyper imperialism. This is why I said for the most part. Plus ww2 had a lot of firsts for racial and gender equality.
(was just teasing, I still think it's good the US participated on the right side at least, because that wasn't always going to go that way).

We were pretty cool during ww2 for the most part.
Ah yes, that time we put asians in concentration camps. Pretty cool. /s

My brother in christ, the military was segregated during world war 2.
Yeah, pretty much any positive time in the US, we gotta remember that Black folks were excluded from the positive aspects of those times. Intentionally.

The land mass was cool before European colonization.

Nah. Lend lease was in full swing, and they were sanctioning the imperial Japanese. Hindsight is 20/20, there was a glimmer of hope at the time that the problem could be resolved with political pressure. Putting boots on the ground without trying anything else first is Bush doctrine level bullshit.

Canada seemed to have it figured out.

At that point in history Canada would have followed the British crown wherever it went. If Britain had sided with Hitler Canada would have been an axis power.

And Reagan, let's remember that.

The hyper imperialism kinda kicked off before ww2, it was kinda the reason we got involved in the first place.

Hey, let's play a game. Any time someone says something good, you guys shit all over it.
Wait, did you all start without me?

Not really...... Sanctions against Japan and Lend and lease were approved the same year we entered the war.

I mean, that's what both the Japanese and the Nazi were hoping for. That the rest of the world would settle for peace and allow them to keep their spoils.

And when has appeasing fascist with political discourse ever worked? There's a difference between standing up to literal fascist invading allies, and Bush's "war on terror", trying to conflate the two is pathetic.

Oh, ok. That must be why the Japanese attacked the US, right? Because they were hoping for peace.
There’s a difference between standing up to literal fascist invading allies, and Bush’s “war on terror”,
Saddam Hussein was just as racist, nationalist, authoritarian, expansionist, and cruel as Benito Mussolini. So what exactly is the difference?
trying to conflate the two is pathetic.
Fuck you
when has appeasing fascist with political discourse ever worked?
You sound like a republican, circa 2003

No. The 1931 Statute of Westminster gave us full control over our foreign policy. The phrase "When Britain is at war, Canada is at war" was about the first world war, not the second.

I asked my family what the last useful thing Congress accomplished that made life better for Americans.
The only 2 answers were the 2010 Affordable Care Act and the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act.
Two actions in 40+ years.
