Blaming people alive today for crimes committed by their distant ancestors is of course a major cause of much of the world's continuing violence. Civilised people learn to recognise and override their natural animal tribalism, but the percentage of the population that is civilised seems to be dropping at the moment.
As I have demonstrably showed it is not "their distant ancestors". "Freedom loving" people is the very essence of the U.S. government. There wouldn't be any existential reason for them to be. Read those books about the history of your own country/the U.S.! They have so far very effectively used lies to feed it to other people, their own people (gringos) and to themselves in their bsing "doctrines", "philosophies" and self-helping ideations:
* "we don't invade countries, but 'liberate' them"
* "when we are genocidal it is 'different', we don't kill people, we 'greatergood' them"
* "we are the land of the "free (with by far the highest incarceration rate in the world)
* "... and 'the' 'brave'" (when all they have ever done is "freedom loving", "liberating", ... people they can safely abuse and "responsibly" using another set of lies, when their "freedom loving" bs is tested by powers which can defend themselves on an equal basis)
* Trump: "I will unleash the military on civilian people" (during the BLM demonstrations) "because" "we are a great nation"
* "give me the tired the poor and huddled masses" ... (Harris' latest suggestions to Guatemalan people not to go North in that dangerous trek, certainly not to the CIA, U.S. enterprises about the same trek South)
* "the school of the Americas" (later renamed "Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation"): a madraza for terrorist and dictators which end up with an amazing probability running their countries
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere_Institute_for_Security_Cooperation
were they train freedom lovers to do such things as blowing up a plane packed with teenagers returning home after winning all the medals in the PANAM games, in the name of "freedom", "democracy" and all that USG bs:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubana_de_Aviación_Flight_455
and, as part of the double tappings Obama was so proud of, which people not exactly known for their human kindness were telling him were stupidly senseless (actual terrorists know well they are not supposed to get anywhere near a previous droned area, so it must have been their families or nurses/doctors/care givers), USG chose to "add insult to injury" by protecting their "schooled dogs" who even received a Presidential pardon (Bush senior) out of prison and whose "rights" were protected by USG even though they had been imprisoned by the justice department for a score of other unrelated actions and sought by various Latin American courts for all kinds of criminal actions which included publicly kicking a pregnant woman:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Bosch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_pardoned_by_George_H._W._Bush
"Orlando Bosch — released but not pardoned by Bush"
I didn't even know a U.S. President could just "released" a well-known terrorist out of prison. I wonder why USG had resorted to word play? Aren't they being themselves?
* "we won WWII" (when they only participated in the last (1/5) of the world, after Russia had pretty much single handedly, at greater cost and at a moment when they were existentially dealing with themselves, to the amazement of the whole world, would could not even "understand" the news, stopped their Blitzkrieg and them (with some logistical help), to then role them over all the way back to Berlin)
* "after winning WWII all we did was dropping candies on people" (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Halvorsen) …
Great Lord! You have to have dropped lots of candies to, just to cite an example (Pforzheim in Germany), kill 21,200 in 12 minutes. Now, in those times killing people was not that "easy". You couldn't do it from an air conditioned container in Texas. It entailed costly physical requirements. USG says Pforzheim was an important fine technique center were bombs were being made, but what about Dresden? There they didn't even produce mouse traps!

Something interesting about "freedom loving" is how strategic they got about bombing civilians instead of being strategic while facing Nazism head on as Russia did.
Even if Nazi Germany had destroyed their whole country, the Russian military, never engaged in such freedom loving air raids against civil populations. The French didn't either even if Germany had temporarily occupied their country. Germany lived for centuries nervous about France invading, occupying them again. Leibniz was even trying to convince the "sun's king" to invade Egypt instead ... Nazis just went in the other direction for a change.
France left right after the world. Russians left more than three decades ago. Both, gringo and British troops remain in Germany.

* "we won WWII by having Alan Turing decipher the enigma" (freedom lovers are so smart, that they didn't even have to actually fight the war heads on against Nazism)
* "we won the cold war by having Ronald Reagan 'stand tall to them'" ... I found amazing, that as usual gringos have ideated another set of lies, now they are even pretending "they didn't win the cold war"!
* "we didn't even have to win the cold war. The USSR did us the favor of wining it for us by being so badly managed" ... they forget part of the "U.S. management" is their imperialistic bs.
Moreover, as part of dismantling the "communist" block those good for nothing Russians went through a thorough and "collaborative" diplomatic effort to dismantle military and spy basis around the world and give people their own freedom, including large territorial concessions (actually quite large!), something never seen in human history. They even stopped patrolling "international waters" with their nuclear submarines for two decades. "Victorious" USG never did for a single day. When Russia went back to business USG was shocked: Great Lord! Look how crazy those Russians are! They have gone back to patrolling our waters with their nuclear submarines, how unreasonably are those „Untermeschen“! Those lowlifes can't even understand "we are being ourselves" because God is telling us to do so, that "we are doing them a favor"! ...
* "we are a Christian nation" (1/3 of gringos -literally- believe in the story of genesis) so all we do to other people is guided by our kosher Christian believes, we just don't want to have to think about our Christian deeds. Only God should watch over them. We certainly don't appreciate when they are put in our field of view ...
* "we hear God telling us things" (that we should make sure "progress", "justice", ... prevails in the world)
* we care about "democracy", "the rule of law", "justice" ... (unless that "democracy", "the rule of law", "justice" ... is not exactly the kind that would be beneficially exploitable to us)
* we had placed some war ships on the coast of Brazil when we discovered they have huge oil reserves in the sea, but they were "in international waters" ... (the also worked the media to get Bolsonaro elected and you thought Trump to be a nut job, even the British royalty has expressed their shock at having a people elect such a person. Trumps secretly recorded "you just grab them by their pussy" would be a teenage comment compared to Bolsonaro's statements)
Bolsonaro's son was directly implicated in the assassination of Brazilian congress representative Franco

What did USG did? Well, they even promoted Bolsonaro's son as their man in Brazil:

Bannon's international far-right alliance called The Movement named Congressperson Eduardo Bolsonaro as its South American representative last month.

* those crazily unAmerikan Chinese have been ramming merchant ships against our war ships "in international waters". Great Lord! How unreasonably! ...
* those crazy nut jobs once again at it! Now they are "stealing our property" ...

* "the world should actually thank us for doing them the favor of serving as the worlds police" ... (I remember once a German citizen took an automatic weapon and killed a few "patriots" at Frankfurt International Airport. The guys clearly said and maintained he wasn't "crazy" that he had done that in full consciousness. In the U.S. people were not just disturbed/sad. They were offended on a cosmic level about all those "unAmerican" people in the "regions" of the world, who "instead of thanking the U.S.A. for serving as the world police would even kill 'patriots'"! ...)
* "WMD in Iraq" ... (something physical, which could have been easily and with certainty tested)
* "Nazism happened because German people are genetically, inherently crazy" ... (not because they didn't quite agree with coming late to the colonial party and European colonial powers trying to "freedom love" Germany, turn them into their "negritos", as well). I am partially, multiculturally speaking German (and "gringo", as well). I am amazed when I hear that meme repeated constantly as part that thing called "Western History". German people don't think themselves as being (racially) "white", but (culturally) German. They do have (I would say downright silly) complex identity issues of a cultural kind. All that "integration" nonsense.
* "the alliance for progress" ... (they were outrightly steeling 50% of Venezuelan oil exports)
* "the Marshall plan, the Marshall plan, the Marshall plan, ..." they constantly smear on Germany's face as well (again, senselessly, after ww2 was essentially over). Germany has at times reminded to them that they paid back every single cent of their help a long time ago.
* "thanksgiving " ... (which Jacob Applebaum calls the day gringos celebrate genocide)
* "the sky is the limit" ...
* only "unAmerikan" people would spy on their own ...
* "the stasi this and the stasi that ..." (compare that with the degree of control by the NSA and abuse by USG, to the extent that people in the U.S. have been committing suicide since the 1990's because they wholeheartedly believe "the government is reading their mind" (OK, part of it is "Hollywood" gringos watching so much TV and movies, but, believe me, as I have explained not all of it, they even made Durerte believe God had spoken to him)) and the perp ratio in the U.S. as a measure of how sick gringos are as a society is way higher (at least four times) than it was in East Germany (which data is public, well-known and thoroughly researched). USG has even granted perps the legally protected right to use lethal force at their own discretion:
https://www.democracynow.org/2008/2/11/report_fbi_deputizes_23_000_business
https://www.democracynow.org/2012/4/4/fbi_surveillance_today_bay_area_agents
* "the stasi had a stash of people's ass odor ... " (as reported by the Intercept.com USG was selling the prospective health patterns of individuals to farma and medical business for a profit. Their arguments is that they are not doing anything wrong per se, but why do they collect and sell all that information in secrecy, without expressed consent of any kind? They say that they are protecting us from having false, "paranoid" ideations and that this is all "legal" and they also make even the interpretations of laws illegal "to protect us" from "having to think" about such matters and and, and and ... at the end of the day, "we the people" can't fathom the extent to which those kinds of people are sick in their minds.)
* USG/the NSA emphasized -medical records- as part of collecting "any kind of tangible information". Why? How exactly people's medical records relate to their moral and civic convictions?
...
the list of gringo beliefs and ideations would go on an on. I hope you get the idea. Sorry, I couldn't just make it brief for your attention span. Some people running into this thread may find what I have talked about "interesting". In fact that list could be written up as a wikipedia entry, oh, well!

As Seinfeld used to say in his show: "it is not a lie if you choose to believe it". If I didn't know the U.S. I would have thought of that one liner as sarcasm, a joke. Later I learned to "respect" it and I saw first hand how USG has an investment in their lies. In the U.S. they couldn't care less if you just say: "eff USG", but, as I learned, you will invariably get their attention if you start articulating -why USG should be eff'ed-.
