they got people to protest it 300 fuckin years later

well conquest and genocide are two things

@Misomania please send me a link to that. I want one.

a lot of places have been taken over without the systematic eradication of the inhabitants

I'm a "native American". My ancestors came here, but I was born here.

well huge amounts of people in south america and australia were unintentionally killed by smallpox

Tim should be in the mid west

smallpox is some scary shit

Or in the east side of the USA

The natives introduced syphillis to the Europeans lol

The Virgin Indian VS The Chad Disease

@Swedishmafia101 trying to remember the video. It may have been tucker carlson talking him it all but it might take me a while to remember as there has been a TON of coverage from a ton of channels

Feel free to DM me any links

Who would win : the entire native population or some smol pox boys

One poxy boye *

had they invented modern medicine they wouldn't have died tho, they asked for it 👌

They didn't intend to bring disease, it just happened, the same way other diseases went the other way. It just so happened one side got the worse end of that deal

Are you sure they didnt

Yes

Because im pretty sure it was intentional

They didn't even know the continent existed, how would it have been intentional?

exactly

@Swedishmafia101 actually wait. There is a channel called red elephants. Maybe it was them

VINCENT JAMES

he's another good one

they didn't even understand how diseases worked completely. Not like they loaded up on diseases for biological warfare in case they encountered someone. Hell they were looking for India, not America

They knew smollpox was a thing

They didn't know America was a thing

yeah but they didn't know how microbes and transmission worked

germ theory wasn't a thing

hmmm

Sanitation didn't exist

That's why the black death was so bad, they didn't know how diseases worked

They knew it was a thing, yes, but the fact that the natives of the Americas had 0 resistance to it wasn't a thing

heck, did they even know what caused and how to prevent scurvy ?

Some of them did

Scurvy was first "cured" in 1497 apparently

The vikings did

They figured out Scurvy eventually, hence why the British were called Limeys, becayse they used limes for Vit C

...that's actually a pretty cool fact, didn't know that

maybe the british being that better at sea than other nations was because of that fact too
