Most of the native americans were killed before we saw them.

The germs spread that far, that fast.

And it wasn't something done on purpose.

No one knew how it worked.

most people harmed by our ancestors died 5 generations ago

yeah

i love when people argue that we committed biological warfare on the natives

did anyone understand germ theory back then?

lmao

as if literally anyone at the time had a single clue how disease worked

We did understand it on a basic level, but not really

Yea, kind of sad. It was quite inevitable that such a thing would happen. Just wish we could’ve preserved more of the culture. *shrug* we’ll do that when we invade primitive alien civilizations

We understood how disease can spread

Guns Germs and Steel is racist guuuuuuuuys lel

Yea

You conquered, killed, and enslaved other people and those other people were just shit out of luck. It wasn't until very recently that the idea of treating everyone as equals came about.

instead of ideas

Environmental determinism has some validity, but isn't some grand theory

Holocaust never happened .
Earth is flat.

there i sed it

Earth is a rhombus

flat earth is a stupid issue, not a science issue

😛

No, earth is a donut.

uhhh the earth is actually a sphere and we're on the inside of it

literally white people get shit for ending all the bad practices that humanity has always done.

Earth is a Torus, our maps are rectangular 😛

so what looks like up is actually in
