I do say we invaded Iraq as an American, unfortunately, and we committed genocide against American Indians…

I did not. If you believe you did, then you should be punished for it. And terrorist acts against you would be more defensible.

maybe I should say our government did that… but kinda wanna own up to what elected officials did.

Why? You're not responsible for their actions, you are oppressed by them too.

As far as murder goes, I’d rather not collectivize that. Any big problem with humanity sharing in the good humanity does?

Well why's it different?

I'm not a particularly accomplished person, but to the extent I have "accomplished" anything, it has been built on the backs of many giants, but also hindered by many others- who honestly, don't deserve credit for it. And I deserve no credit for what others have done even if what I have done has aided them in it- I deserve credit only for what I have done, and the parts I specifically have contributed.
