    Who’s pretending Native Americans didn’t fight wars against each other? Did I miss something?

    It’s not obvious if someone has to ask what it is.

    Actually they were diverse tribes more advanced in some ways than European tribes. If the invaders had practiced proper hygiene their diseases might not have decimated the natives and it the invaders might have been forced to cooperate instead of kill.

    Hygiene had nothing to do with disease. It was genetics and nonimmunities.

    No, they dont. But they do recognize that indigenous people refers to millions of individuals, the vast majority of which were not evil tyrants that participated in slave trade and genocide the way that the one guy currently celebrated on this day (Columbus) did.

    Hygiene didn't wipe out the natives. Killing their food source and starving them did more harm.

    Yes, far less savage to conduct biological warfare on an unsuspecting population.

    See the problem is European Powers and the United States had FLAGS and native Indians didn't so weren't real nations and didn't count until a FLAG protected them in this case the primitives as Spanish protected declared so by Christopher Columbus.

    I'm specifically 'harrassing' powerful First Worlders who have become so safe and so well fed, that they've devolved to making tragedy out of triviality. Protesters, lobbyists, activists, celebrities, politicians, media, etc. All those with power .... and the freedom to choose better.

    Or, and hear me out, they can and do, do both. Why are you trying to shame people that care about things you don’t? It’s pretty bizarre.

    Yup thats how it works. The playbook only has a few plays-but they all end with "straight white males bad".

    You can't dismiss me. They were pagans. Ignorant savage pagans.

    Because in the big picture, 'caring' about the freaking name of a First World holiday is bizarre. Context is everything.

    PS: As long as they give significant time and resources to such utterly trivial vanities, they are declaring themselves unfit to model 'care'.
