You can think that, but in reality you're very wrong. You've basically ignored me pointing out the actual definition of my terms, and continued to point the finger of 'emotional nuance'

Anyway. This is the closest one can get to winning an Internet argument, so let me just declare myself the winner.

it doesn't mean civiliians specifically, its excessive killing in a short time frame.

Haunted, usually it's on civilians though, or disarmed soldiers. people who can't fight back.

He who declares himself the victor is usually the prideful, ignorant one.

well yes, but the definition of the word isn't that focused.

you could indiscrimanately massacre an entire army.

Would you not agree though, that Wounded Knee was a massacre, and to undermine the gravity of what happened that day is historically faulty?

idk what wounded knee is

a bunch of native american women, men and children were shot down during a conflict with the US Army.

some were warriors, yes, but there were also civilians.

without knowing specifics i can't say

you kinda have to research these things. But yes, it is dubbed, by historians, as a massacre.

Just like the valentines day massacre.

only on a much larger scale, of course.

well, if the US army went in and shot everyone without any care i'd call it a massacre.

I find it funny how Undead Mockingbird shut down any form of constructive argument and declared victory despite his faulty claims against me.

also that's pretty much what it turned into.

soldiers were ordered to open fire on defenseless women and children.

estimated 300 out of 350 of the original tribe were killed.

it's likely the other fifty or so were able-bodied people who fled when they saw entire families being mown down.

breifly looking it up, yeah i'd say its a massacre, but i'd als agree that massacre is pretty borad term that does include a lot of war situations.

maybe not so much under modern warfare, but before all the tech definitely.

Yeah because soldiers do horrible things in war.

ESPECIALLY in the past like in wars like Vietnam and the world wars.

world war 1 is probably the best example

yeah they fled, were hunted down, and slaughtered.

How is that, by definition, not a massacre?

that sounds like its going over the line into genocide

Yeah, pretty much.

Though native american tribe structure is usually that there are multiple tribes of different types of people.... so while the tribe may have been basically killed off, they're PEOPLE probably have 3-4 other tribes.

yeah, i'm not sure if it would actually be genocide, but it sounds like its tp-toeing the line, but looking it up it looks like it was more paranoia wanting to crush a rebellion before it happens then systematic slaughtering of people.

Yeah... I wouldn't really call it a genocide.

I'm a big history buff and I hate it when people twist history to their political agenda. I thought the right would be free from that, but one of the so-called heroes of the right, steve crowder, has proven himself a liar as well.

that's politics for you.

just, jesus fucking christ.

I thought of all people he would be honest. but then he pairs with those scumbags PragerU?

i bet you its confirmation bias.

probably. Those people at PragerU are pretty fuckin' stupid sometimes.

i dont really follow him, the stuff i have come across seem okay

i guess most of the bullshit is in teh podcasts stuff
