Strong disagree here, the US have more genocides than Russia under it's belt, have had destabilizing effect on the world for the last 50 years by making neoliberalism the defacto political ideology of the world and is the only county to use the atomic bomb(not to mention on non-military targets).
It has always been good at marketing, but under that it's all blood.
Yes I agree, but we can't improve things if all we care about is "look at these dumb peasants and the dumb mistakes they are making. They deserve to suffer for their mistakes".
The thing is that in these cases usually the statistics hide a huge wealth inequality gap.
So the people is power are not really poor more often they are even richer and more powerful than rich people in countries with working governments/economies.
And the poor people are really fucked. So in essence what you are advocating for is not even collective punishment because the people responsible are not punished.
They still can't bring themselves to even say kill...
In any other context this would be called inhumane execution or hate crime...
