He didn't kill ALL the innocent, whose land he stole and whose relatives he murdered. Only those that dated fight back.

Yeah, sounds like Trump.

[-] Fredthefishlord 9 points 11 hours ago

Bro he literally freed the slaves.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 hours ago

They still have slaves. They are just in prison. That's my point.

[-] Fredthefishlord 1 points 3 hours ago

That's still far from as bad.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Oh okay. I didn't realize "a little" slavery is okay. As a treat if your white I guess.

[-] aeternum 1 points 3 hours ago

the constitution even condones it. Fucked. Prisoners get paid like 70c an hour or some shit.

Instead of actually working towards something better, let's just spend our time arguing over things we can't change. /S

and hitler was a pretty good painter ...

[-] Fredthefishlord 6 points 10 hours ago

I'm sorry, did you just compare painting TO ENDING SLAVERY*

*some exclusions apply

That's objectively false. His line work was shit and this meme is inaccurate.

[-] nestle@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

True, he was a horrible painter. I’ve seen better paintings from Alex Jones

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

He didn’t steal any land. The battles fought between Natives and non-native populations were rarely a fight that had “good” vs “evil” sides.

They executed those that wantonly murdered innocent people. It tirns out murdering people for their food, goods, and horses is something the government did not want to encourage.

unless you're a settler, then it's called "manifest destiny"

No, they were, very much. Europeans were invaders, taking land that didn't belong to them by force. The government explicitly encouraged murder and turned a blind eye to any abuses. If you don't want people to defend their land and avenge the love domes you murder, maybe don't invade and ethnically cleanse the are to begin with?

Do you also think Russia v. Ukraine or Israel's genocide don't have "evil" vs "good" sides?

Because if you're invading and murdering innocent people, its a clear cut for most people.
