How is war not part of American politics? Obviously I interject that liberals are in many aspects equivalent to and supportive of conservative and fascist policies, if people claim that one side is better than the other. If people around here were claiming Republicans to be the better choice, I'd point to their crimes instead. I know full well about my countries past and present crimes and transgressions. The difference between us is that I don't run around advocating for the liberals or the conservatives of my country and also there is the fact that my country isn't a massive empire escalating violence all over the world and dominating the global economy for their own benefit.

You don't have to kill them to protect the environment and what you say about hunters as efficient and precise killers is incongruent with existing statistics. "I support going vegan" - are you vegan then? Clinging to a violent status quo while refusing to even so much as acknowledge the moral worth of its victims, because you feel as though they are so beneath you that you can take their lives and their bodies at will, is not something I would expect from a leftist, or even a decent person to begin with. Bad take.
So you're saying that we shouldn't kill individuals based on how much they destroy the environment actually. Not being native doesn't warrant execution and neither does being numerous. Some places have programs for neutering certain problematic species and while I would be careful about condoning those programs it certainly beat being shot and bleeding to death.
I neither stretch nor do I stammer. Killing civilians is a war crime and so is bombing hospitals or trying to starve a population. I'm also not sure why Americans have such a hard time grasping the fact that their country is a globe-spanning military empire, far beyond what "virtually every other major leader" has to answer for. Your federal law is only one part of what is or isn't legitimate or worthy of prosecution. The world outside of your country's jurisdiction matters and deserves justice as well.
I'm not a big fan either, but China is still objectively less evil than the USA. I personally can't think of any criticism of China that doesn't equally or more apply to the US as well and only one of those states is actively threatening war and trying to starve other countries through sanctions. Anti-trans legislature is also common among USAmerican states as well as the UK and parts of continental Europe, and actual genocide and concentration camps are European and American staples. I don't like the PRC myself, but they are easily far less destructive towards the rest of the world than the West is.
I never said "for any reason at all". I said killing innocents against their will is wrong. I'm not necessarily opposed to all forms of euthanasia. A sterilisation program would not be worse than slaughtering countless individuals and neither would be reintroducing predators that you hunted to extinction.
