America's Conquest

[Sicarus]

OP makes the 1800s sound like the Middle Ages. It's not conquest when you arbitrarily broke treaties with blatant disregard for the welfare of a domestic people, all for the sake of greed

Except I wasn't talking about the 1800's exclusively. They believed in Manifest Destiny, that it was their divine right to settle in America.

It wasn't greed, it was their devotion to their faith.

My problem comes from the hypocrisy of brushing off the slaughter of indians as a minor thing, while simultaneously condemning the holocaust. They're the same thing, basically.

Yes, if Germany had won WWII and their lebensraum ideals were fulfilled then they would become a normal stable society. And people would brush off the holocaust as a minor thing as well, a couple hundred years later.

That's my problem with America. Hypocrisy.

But they're not the same, basically.

Wait, is this guy saying that Americans are persecuted by Native American tribes? What in the actual fuck did I just read?

Making assumptions.

We're persecuted by everyone, it's annoying as fuq.
