He did think the capitalists who perpetuated the system of chattel slavery took the idea of eugenics too far though.

That's dumb. Say what you will about hitler, but he was very efficient. Capitalists historically were major fans of hitler.
Everything you've said is the exact explanation for why there is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism, and the inherent flaw behind it as a whole. But I do not accept that it's the same issue in gaza. It is not capitalism as a system causing the genocide, it is our elected president who is actively lying about both sides of the war in order to perpetuate it. It is our UN representatives actively blocking a ceasefire. The fact we haven't impeached Biden yet is very much on all Americans. Capitalism did not put Biden in the WH, we did. And so we are responsible for what he does and doesn't do while there.
As far as the sins of capitalism, I very much agree with your original sin argument. It's just a different issue when the problems are caused by our democratically elected government.
There is certainly a genocide occuring in Palestine. The US is funding the Israeli military. Ergo, the US is culpable for genocide, just like all Germans were. Average citizens are less culpable than government officials are, but we are all culpable for it to a degree.
It's a similar concept to manslaughter. We were negligent in our enforcement of our government, and so even though you and I might oppose the governments actions and didn't directly cause them, we all had a duty to prevent a genocidal government taking power.
Most Germans didn't support the Nazis either, but they were still culpable. Israel could never do this genocide without our help, and so we are culpable for it.
Wildly misleading title, USA has not made any concrete plans for the investment, and has a history of lying about everything.
Moreso the current one we're doing in palestine.
No, you're wrong. Stating it again and again won't change that. They are in fact colonizing palestinian land, just look at their maps that claim it as theirs. At this point I have to assume you're either trolling me, or you're wildly misinformed. Either way, I suggest you go read some articles about this. Literally everything you've said is incorrect.
Israel is the one actively colonizing palestine's land. Israel is the one holding a 30 year siege. Israel is targeting civilians, as shown by the civilian death tolls on each side. Israel is doing all they can to torture and kill Palestinians. Dead palestinians outnumber dead Israelis 10 to 1.
Palestine is good because they are killing genociders, just like the allies were good in WW2. Israel is evil. It's not complicated.
Pretty sure that attack was actually done by Israel, if we are talking about the same thing. Hamas fired thousands of rockets because Israel is genociding them, essentially via siege warfare. The media simply decided not to cover all of the preceding heinous shit Israel did to provoke it, because the capitalist class owns the media. You should really start verifying the truth of random news stories you read, because it sounds like you believe the myth being spread by Western media that Israel is the good guy. Israel is committing genocide, and so it really doesn't matter at all what Hamas or Palestine has done in response.

Russia isnt doing a genocide, they're just Fighting a war over land. You can tell by the fact that Putin speaks about Crimeans as if they're equivalent to Russians, while Israel has made it clear they consider all Palestinians to be animals.
