history is history
you cant have only good things
It doesn't matter all that matters is the facts and the fact is that the natives were killed by people who had better technology than they did
Acknowledging that fact doesn't make you racist
What Europeans did to natives is akin to what happened in the 30 Years War
Look up the Siege of Magdeburg
and the wheel had not been seen or heard of by a fair amount of tribes at the end of 19th century
Genocide is intentional action to destroy a group of people (usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group) in whole or in part.
really makes you think

american genocide is real
kek
Yeah by that definition the Siege of Magdeburg can actually be defined as genocide
To say that it's bad based on our morality today is retarded, the people of the time would unironically have believed themselves justified
well it was
@ebinmemes22 true
Because they were just using empty land and the natives would attack them
*sigh* maybe I put my point across less clearly than I had hoped? my bad.
I'll try harder in the future @PureEvilPie I don't know what else to say.
>empty land
The Emperor of the HRE wanted to punish the protestants for revolting so he ordered an entite town to be slaughtered, pillaged and raped.
It was
Empty
To them
They see it
And see empty land
@Swedishmafia101 sounds like genocide to me tbh
history is written by the victors
plus every single nation or tribe will have done some utterly disgusting by todays standers so it was inventible that Europe would colonise most of africa
>empty land
They don't go "oh the native villages mile from here might like his land, maybe they buried their dead in this undisturbed unmarked gravesite"
Yeah lol, the natives were much worse
You cannot judge the actions of the past by the morals of today
^
This is essentially the whole point
well nobody is stopping me
and i do
He left
too much raycissmm
I don't care lol
