      lol there were plenty of colonialist genociders before the US. The British empire, the Roman Empire, etc.

        Were the Romans that? I was under the impression they were more the sort to let people be as long as they swore allegiance to Rome.

          You complete lack of knowledge of the British empire is hilarious in the context of a discussion on colonialism.

                  No one is denying that indigenous American people were genocided.

                  Everyone is pointing out that others did it first, to other populations, and the USA in no way can considered the “OG”.

                  You dumb fuck.

          The US isn’t the original coloniser. Ghengis Khan did a bloody good job 900 years ago. Alexander the Great was Over 2000 years ago. The US is just shy of 250 years old. So how the fuck is the US the OG (Original gangster)…

          I guess your history knowledge is pretty pethetic… Either that or you don’t know what the terms you’re using means

              Navajo weren’t the original genocide, it also wasn’t one of the biggest, History doesn’t begin when the US was founded.

              Albigensian Crusade (Cathar genocide) where they killed 1 000 000 people was back in the year 1209, it is one of the first documented genocides.

              Enraging yourself because you don’t have the mental capacity is hilarious. History didn’t start 250 years ago with the US. If you had a proper well-rounded education you might understand that.

              I suggest you go read a book within your ability. Try “Spot the dog goes to school”. It.might be a little advanced for you but you can lift the flaps.
