and dutch

2018-07-15 00:11:43 UTC  

they both commited the same atrocities

2018-07-15 00:12:01 UTC  

I would say the spanish might have done more

2018-07-15 00:12:04 UTC  

The Hudson Bay co and the NW co were state run monopolies. If you lived in Canada, you worked for "the Company" and bought your goods from "the company"

2018-07-15 00:12:30 UTC  

Well no different that East India Company lol

2018-07-15 00:12:43 UTC  

spanish empire didnt live long enough to do more

2018-07-15 00:12:46 UTC  

True, but small differences

2018-07-15 00:13:01 UTC  

spanish empire destroyed 2 cuvilizations

2018-07-15 00:13:12 UTC  

yeah and the british didnt?

2018-07-15 00:13:18 UTC  

and decimated a third

2018-07-15 00:13:24 UTC  

native americans middle easterns south asians

2018-07-15 00:13:33 UTC  

All of them are still aroubd

2018-07-15 00:13:34 UTC  

India was better off British

2018-07-15 00:13:42 UTC  

The difference between British and Spanish colonisation is that there are still native American tribes in America. You don't see too many South Americans still throwing glass spears at one another and eating hearts for blood gods.

2018-07-15 00:13:47 UTC  

and america did worse to the natives than the brits

2018-07-15 00:14:06 UTC  

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki They were on our land, bucko

2018-07-15 00:14:20 UTC  

you know

2018-07-15 00:14:20 UTC  

Oh no im not condemning the americans

2018-07-15 00:14:23 UTC  

unlike the british

2018-07-15 00:14:34 UTC  

Im just not blaming the brits for what americans did

2018-07-15 00:14:35 UTC  

i think its a good thing that the aztecs were exterminated

2018-07-15 00:14:46 UTC  

lets be honest

2018-07-15 00:14:49 UTC  

what abiut the mayans and incas?

2018-07-15 00:14:49 UTC  

I wouldn't disagree

2018-07-15 00:14:53 UTC  

they terrorized south america

2018-07-15 00:14:57 UTC  

sacrificing thousands a day

2018-07-15 00:15:01 UTC  

The aztecs were monsters.

2018-07-15 00:15:20 UTC  

The 'noble savage' is a myth. The natives were better off American or Canadian

2018-07-15 00:15:25 UTC  

Point being the Spanish gave far fewer fucks than the brits about natives.

2018-07-15 00:15:41 UTC  

or the french for that matter

2018-07-15 00:15:43 UTC  

most of those civilizations were wiped out by disease

2018-07-15 00:15:49 UTC  

and the french used them as shields

2018-07-15 00:15:53 UTC  

Well they're the French.

2018-07-15 00:15:54 UTC  

cant really credit the spanish for enslaving a few thousand

2018-07-15 00:15:58 UTC  

when a million more were killed by the pox

2018-07-15 00:16:14 UTC  

the british understood this and used that against the native north americans

2018-07-15 00:16:19 UTC  

giving them infected blankets and such

2018-07-15 00:16:27 UTC  

that was americans not brits

2018-07-15 00:16:36 UTC  

we were free before that

2018-07-15 00:16:38 UTC  

Disregarding disease though. The Spanish were far more murdery than we were.

2018-07-15 00:16:41 UTC  

That's actually an urban myth
