I'd agree that the other survey option, to label death on a massive scale as "acceptable" is horrific as you say, although I'm finding it difficult to correlate that stance of respect for human life with this rather apocalyptic vision:-
If there were no such thing America, I wonder what would become of the Americans? How much hardship, violence, loss of life would be "acceptable" to bring about your vision?

This is how I put it before

I believe that.
There’s also the problem that America’s existence profoundly increases the likelihood that humankind will face a full on extinction level event. And I’m talking about not one single human survivor. Nuclear war. Environmental disaster. The perpetuation of violence solution thinking globally. America’s global position actively prohibits the rest of the planet from operating in a cooperative manner.
I know Bat calls this reverse narcissism but the size of America’s economy and military and the imperialist nature of its virulent necro-capitalism speaks for itself.
I think when this really sunk in completely was last year when I reading a book about what America did to the Bikini Atoll. I already knew that history but that plus what was going on in my life really really brought home how horrible and rotten this place really is.
