They’re pretty proud of the whole European settlers arriving and murdering nearly 100,000,000 Indigenous people. They celebrate it every year by eating a big deep fried turkey dinner and watching American football on TV.

I’ve never had deep fried turkey and I don’t watch football.
And you know Canada has a dismal record on the rights of the Native people.


Canada and the US both have atrocious records in this regard. It's silly for American and Canadian posters to try to bash each other based on the other country's records, it just amounts to arguing over who has a tastier s**t sandwich.

It’s not just us, it’s all over the world.Like the Amazon.
I do get tired of people acting like America has a monopoly on evil.


Don't get me wrong, I understand indigenous peoples also face issues in Iberiosphere countries, it's just that I'm more informed about those issues within the Anglosphere.

I've thought of starting a history channel focused on the various thefts that built the colonial (and modern) world, but it would need to focus on the Anglosphere at first. Clearance and enclosure or the plantations in Ireland would likely get covered before I mention Latin America.

They have a name for Nazis that were only Nazis because of economic anxiety or similar issues. They're called Nazis.

Yes, when someone shows up to colonize it’s never good for the people living there.

Do you think the behaviors you described are what there should be?

Do you think you can convince humans not to torture and kill chickens and cows?

I think people pretend they're the "good guys".

Not to torture? Yes. Not to kill? Probably not until cheap in-vitro meat gets available worldwide. Humans are omnivores, balancing vegan diet is possible but not everyone can afford the effort.
I'm not vegan but I'm willing to pay more for free-range eggs and meat, for ethical reasons.

Are you implying it's okay to be the bad guys?
