    The video from the thumbnail is really appalling. A lot of “if we didn’t brutalize and rape these indigenous people, their lives would be so much worse!”

      Yeah seriously. We could’ve just traded with them. We could’ve provided aid when smallpox and plague ravaged them. They’d’ve been fine

      Part of why we learn and teach history is so in the future we make better decisions. Brushing off evil and saying it was good in the long run is absolutely inexcusable because of that.
