In other words, the Europeans did it harder.
So far, yes. Although other regions and people have had their own atrocities not to be ignored by history or awareness. My point still stands that these behaviors are not and have never been uniquely western or even uniquely homo sapien. Nature is fucked and so far, the more intelligent an organism becomes the more fucked it gets.
So the point of your statement is to minimize the atrocities committed by the Europeans on the natives, got it.
Not really, someone was saying these were uniquely western behaviors. Unfortunately they aren't. It's more so a recognition of reality as it is than a denial or diminishing of anything. To argue it is a western only thing would be diminishing the atrocities not committed by western powers.
No they weren't. Literally nobody in this thread has said that.
I am paraphrasing, no one wrote it like that letter for letter but read around. There are more than a few moments of people arguing it's a western specific thing. That nothing like this happened before western countries started colonialism or western expansion.
Lol. So you're responding to a vibe you got. Good work dude, you sure showed that vague feeling you manifested what's what.
That's not what paraphrasing means but whatever you prefer.
Paraphrasing is when you shorten a person's statement in order to simplify it. Literally nobody said what your "paraphrasing", so you're literally just making shit up. Hope I helped clear that up for you.
