    doesn’t justify the millions of deaths though

    Obviously that’s bullshit, but let us accept that for argument’s sake. What about the US that killed 10 million indigenous peoples (a conservative estimate) over the nearly 250 nations that existed then and built their economy first with direct slave labor and then via convoluted forms of slave labor (share cropping, or “illegal immigration mostly from Mexico and Central America) not to mention colonialism and neocolonialism. The prosperity of the US is fed by the deaths of potentially hundreds of millions of people, a prosperity given overwhelmingly to just “white” men and some tokens to use as bait.
