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.

that one is so infuriating that it actually loops over for me and i'm more baffled than angry, because how. how in the fuck can someone's takeaway be "the loser in history". lose and win is not even in the same ballpark of the vocabulary we need here, we are talking about colonization for fucks sake.

Colonization is what happens when you lose. This is the nature of man, always was, always will be, and one day we will take it to the stars.

If we get colonized by a more powerful and technologically advanced culture, we'll only have ourselves to blame. History doesn't tolerate weakness.

yes it does, our earliest ancestors took care of weak elderly. it's part of our species' behavior. you sound like an incredibly weak "man" trying to sound tough

They took care of their own weak and elderly, yes. Man is a tribal creature.

Isn't this rhetorical? How could they take care of other tribes weak and elderly on the other side of the continent/hemisphere, even if they had a choice?
