For OH it's just cause he **** the bed again.

As somebody that sucks capitalism's ding dong you should be worshiping Funko Pops.

Edit: Kind of sounds like a slur. Funko pops.

The point I'm making is that if your gonna take grievance with the past, you also have to have an understanding of what the actual alternatives were based on how people behaved back then. Before Cortes arrived in the New World and set things on the path we are on today, the Aztecs were well on their way to subjugating and/or violently massacring every other tribe on the North American continent. There was no magical bright future for anyone just because white people weren't in the picture. Every timeline is ****ed and all we have is the present moment.

So are we discussing history to make a point about how to improve the present, or are people going to make unscientific observations about how we got to this point? If people are going to argue with me because I pointed out the latter, then that doesn't bode well for any critical discussion.

You're not having a critical discussion. You're Holocaust denying. It's a thing neo-Nazis do.

John Wick over here keeping common sense alive.

The Native Americans didn't die for the Funko Pop iteration of Judge Dredd.

Are you having a stroke, Fritz?

Who is talking about a magical bright future? The only point is that American colonists committed a horrible genocide. This argument doesn't logically relate to that statement, and all attempts to fill in that logical blank do indeed make it sound like an attempt to excuse that genocide

When I see arguments saying that 15th through 17th century people can direct and control diseases to wipe out entire groups of people systematically, I question their understanding of history. This isn't that hard to understand.
