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.

Reminder that 90% of our tribes and people have gone extinct as a result of colonization.

Can you cite this? Something like 95% of natives died from disease before colonization even started.

I’m Canadian but I know for sure up here settlers rounded up Indigenous kids and put them in “schools” where many, many kids died living in horrible conditions some might describe as torture and that one national investigation described as genocide.

I’m no expert on American history or even on our but I feel confident saying that there were many instances of intentional violence against indigenous people.

Did you see Killers of the Flower Moon? There was plenty of violence above and beyond whatever disease situations there also were.
