    Sorry, I don’t celebrate genocidal maniacs, but I am enjoying a happy Indigenous People’s Day.

      The Aztecs committed genocide. Do you celebrate them?

        I didn’t realize that the Aztecs were the only indigenous people.

          All humans were pieces of shit back then. Judging them by today’s standards is bullshit.

            You know that even Columbus’ contemporaries condemned him, right?

            Columbus’ cruelty was recognized in his own day. Spanish churchmen condemned him for carrying off women from their husbands and subjecting them to the pleasures of other men. Friar Bartolomeo de las Casas, who accompanied Columbus on his third voyage, wrote, “The silence.” His published accounts included contemporary illustrations of native mothers drowning their children to save them from Spanish cruelty.

              Yes. He still did something that changed the face of the world forever.

        One of the most false equivalences I’ve seen in a while.

              Every group of people have murdered someone from another group of people.

                Also not true. You’ll need to be more specific. Every individual person has not committed atrocities and neither has every group of people. Once you start getting into governments of countries you might be getting somewhere.
