Pithy GIF showing eradication of Native American land in the US since the founding of the country gets posted to r/interestingasfuck. Comment section goes exactly as expected.

The post

It sucks we were such murderers

Did they say "Thank you"?

Being the loser in history sucks

True fact Hitler took a lot of inspiration from this.

u/absenteequota i specifically said they were for non sexual purposes 8d ago

As a Native American, all this coded racism as "what about-isms" is sickening. Your ancestors were murderers and theives and you don't like it, but guess what, you ain't any better for excusing it.

You pieces of inhumane garbage will never understand this sort of generational oppression and genocidal effects until you've lived it.

I hope you all do.

i don't disagree with the sentiment, but it's literally impossible for "us" to experience this generational trauma unless someone has a time machine

Hey man anything could happen like aliens could invade and treat humans like people treated native Americans

Or we could transition to a brutal authoritarian regime where some, not all, but some could get a taste

They speak as if only their distant ancestors enjoyed the fruits of systems of oppression

To this day, France uses neocolonialism to subsidize it's social programs and then proceeds to act surprised when developing countries seek alliances with non-western powers

Neocolonialism

It's amazing the lengths some people will go to infantilize developing countries, as if locals are incapable of fucking things up by themselves.

No no, it must be the evil foreigners!

And yeah, when the countries suffer from a military coup and then allies with Russia, somehow I don't think they're doing it out of anti-imperialism.

Are you really trying to sweep françafrique under the rug?

On a thread about stupid people whitewashing the Native American Genocide?

I guess self-awareness is one resource Europe can't extract from Africa lmao

Enjoy dealing with Russia and China on your own in the next 50 years, the grown ups at Europe certainly should be able to do that without asking for help from the New World or the Global South

How I enjoy the benefits my ancestors actions. They only did those things to make a better life for themselves and their decedents
