Preempting all the “he was a man of his time” apologists:
Columbus was arrested during his lifetime because his actions were considered awful by his contemporaries.
Specifically, Columbus was the first transatlantic slaver - although he went in the nontraditional West-to-East direction. And was imprisoned by Queen Isabel for that shit.
Worst part is, he wouldn’t be arrested for genocide in 2024. He would probably be seen as lesser of two evils or something stupid like that.
Something savages something something terrorism
He’d probably be Trump’s running mate.
Of course, there was over 100 years between Columbus’ voyage and the voyage of the pilgrims on the Mayflower.
, which also brought genocide
Yeah, I thought he was on the Nina or Pinta or Santa Maria or something like that.
Niña Piñata, obvs.
Alright, I thought I had forgotten all my grade school history there for a second.
June-ocide
COME ON, IT WAS RIGHT THERE
I’d say April Showers is a great porn name, but these days you gotta value search engine optimization, which is why my porn name is “Best Airfryer 2024”
Dude check out April Flowers (aka April Summers) she was the best ever, blast from the past from the 80s and 90s.
In this vein I love how companies even spin up entire domains with affiliate links like top10airfryers.net or bestvacuumcleaners2024.com.
And then there source for the ratings is Amazon customer reviews or even the manufacturer’s online shop 🙄.
Columbus didn’t come on the Mayflower lmao
Pilgrims or Columbus, it’s all genocide in the end my dude
Every road leads to genocide…?
That’s a pretty reductive view, genocide never had to happen choices were made that lead to that point.
Columbus was already dead for over hundred years.
The Mayflower brought the Pilgrims to America, not Columbus (which is also, for some reason, misspelled in the title of this post). I’m guessing OP didn’t pay much attention to their history class this year in what I’m going to assume is middle-school.
OP, try again with La Pinta, La Niña or La Santa María
“April showers” is a nickname for the Spanish monarchy I hadn’t heard yet.
Columbo, however, had just one more thing to ask before arresting a murderer.
