    Conquering and literally fucking over all your treaties year and year, decade after decade, generational trauma inflicted on people?

    Germany was conquered.

    First Nations has been a endless cycle of genocide and cultural warfare.

    Pssst America is faithless and untrustworthy.

      That’s still being conquered. It’s part of being conquered. The first Nations aren’t the first or last people to sign treaties and agreements with more powerful group that were never honored. I hate how myopic people are about history, assuming their suffering is special, within human history.

      The shit the Golden Horde did across Asia and western Europe, only a couple centuries earlier, is equal to if not more horrific, like completing multiple genocides in the process, then breeding their DNA into the entire fucking human species through decades of mass raping across continents.

        Shouldn’t we try for better? Just because that’s how it’s been doesn’t mean that’s how it has to be
