The US has been the main villain ever since they inherited the role from the British. None of this is surprising if you’ve been paying attention.

It actually still exists in people too, it’s just rare and treatable with antibiotics.

You don’t have to look at everything in terms of individual responsibility. We can clearly see that the injustices caused by transatlantic slavery, and imperialism more broadly, are very much still here. I think it would be nice to try to remedy this.

Of course, it’s non-binding, and the countries that should probably be paying reparations just happen to have all abstained (except for the rogue USA of course, voting against) so I don’t expect anything will happen. But it’s a nice idea.
