No it's not.
This is correct:

  1. Excuses by people who don't know what actually happened or what the actual critique given is. For example counting millions of killed nazis and taking life expectancy and compare it to a nation completely untarnished by world wars with an abundance of fossil fuels taken from the indigenous people.

One can calculate this way too. I'll show you.
Since Usonia is capitalist and the population is around 350 million of which the indigenous people is maybe 2 million,
Usonia alone has killed therefore at least 345 million people, since all those people could have been indigenous.

That's fair too, stats fuckery is a time-honored tradition.

You know what they say, there's lies, damned lies, and statistics.
