I find it especially hilarious that people think Native Americans were nothing but peace loving hippies, when tribes literally slaughtered and raped each other for not worshipping the right sky spirit, and took each other as slaves. They were doing exactly what white Europeans did on a smaller scale.

Huh, cuz I don't remember Native Americans dragging off other people and forcibly assimilating them while beating the culture out of them. You can say all you want about them being savage, but look up the Residential Schools in Canada where locking kids in rooms where other kids had tuberculosis was a "fair" form of detention. Hell, the Canadians were supposed to be "superior" yet they acted even more barbaric.

Native Americans had plenty of slaves and such. You really don't know much about history, do you? You will find the ugly and detestable anywhere and everywhere you look, including the Native Americans. Ever heard of grief wars, for instance?

The fun part is. There where some tribes who willingly surrendered their own culture to become more european like. But found no acception with the europan immigrants because of the hostilites of the warrior tribes.
Ironicly enough nearly every tribe that became more like the europeans , in both culture and religion , where the more peacefull tribes.

But hey the proto americunts where all babaric monsters who came slaughering and raping into the country.
And where totally not considered pussys by the warrior tribes because they had no habbit of constant fighting to prove their manlyness.

Most interesting is their concept of manhood. Because for most of thouse nativ tribes a man was someone who basicly lives to fight and hunt.
And since the European wanted a more peacefull live they were not considered men by them and lead to hostilite.
Things began to escalate when the war for independance started and many of the nativ warrior tribes joined forces with the brit for the simple reason that they seemed be more manly than the proto americans. So both britbongs and nativs fought against the americunts and after the americunts won they ensuered their victory over the nativs.
And the biggest ironie is that these faggy little hipster lefties are the ones today who are thinking the concept of manhood is a bad thing and are talking all this **** about the peacefull , natur loving nativs. While they would be first who would have been killed by them for them simply not being manly

That wasn't why they attacked. It was a cultural **** up, that's all. In their culture, nobody owns the land. They are given permission to SHARE the land with the inhabitants. Of course, that's not how it worked in European culture.

It has more to do with how things played out for the indians after they were no longer free to move. alcoholism , depression and suicide rates are relatively high in the reservations they were moved to. It is a sad thing the two cultures couldn't exist together because the tribes were full with fascinating folklore and myths.

It basicly boils down to the atrocious manifest destiny. "Your god(s) gave you this land but my god promised it to me, and welll... I have guns. "

And on the whole thanksgiving thing, all holidays are retarded.

Yes a significant part of the tribes died before colonisation begun.

Yes, because white people are the only ethnic group capable of committing atrocities. Get real. I'm not saying that what we did in the past is alright, it's not, it was horrible. I'm simply saying that you can't point fingers at only white people, saying that "Oh, white people are the evilest people ever." while pretending that other ethnic groups didn't do things just as bad, if not worse. It's not just whites that "slaughter and steal" that's always been human nature, but we're getting better. Still have a long way to go, mind you, but we've come a long way, nonetheless.

It was a reality, yes. My point still stands. Just because something was common, that doesn't mean it's right.
Moping doesn't do anything, no. But looking back and examining does.
Every day, we are finding extra planets, and new ways of exploring them.
If we are going to be meeting other cognitive, self-aware species, we need to examine the past to ensure that we don't repeat it.

Trying to have a serious discussion while attaching images from a cartoon to your statements is kind of counterproductive. It's fine for normal, lighthearted conversations, but using reaction images when you're supposedly talking about something serious only indicates that you really aren't taking it seriously.

Brush this off as pony hate if you will, but it isn't. I've nothing against most bronies, but a cartoon horse is not relevant to a discussion of genocide and frankly I find it somewhat insulting to the memories of the dead

I said literally nothing about my opinion of whether or not Thanksgiving is fine, so good job trying to shove words in my mouth, buddy. However, since you brought it up, I do think Thanksgiving is fine. Not because I think what we did to the Natives is cool, but because the thing you and every other dumbass that pisses and moans about Thanksgiving being a murder holiday choose to ignore is that Thanksgiving is not a celebration of the pilgrims taking land from the Native Americans. It is, and always has been, a celebration of a good harvest. Nothing more, nothing less. "Thanksgiving days" were celebrated before the first pilgrims set foot on American soil, and if you bothered to do even the most basic research, you would realize that there is nothing in the origin of Thanksgiving that has to do with stealing anyone's land.

You and Silverman are both idiots of the highest calibre. Only a complete fool or a sociopath would ever think that millions of humans would celebrate a holiday based around murder. You just like to bitch because you get off on white guilt.

The world loves conquerors, a great man leading an army of brave men to take what they want for themselves betting their life for glory and riches for their people.

Israel on the other hand was given that land and defended it trough help from other nations and allying with supposed enemies, they never proclaimed to be conquerors they claim to be the victims, while litteraly everything was given to them. they whine about injustice abroad when their nation is built upon it.

So yes conquest to power is respected

Its not the fact that palestine lost land by force.
Its more about how israel is still trying to expand, is constantly killing civilians while whining whenever the palestinians do as much as throw a rock at them to try to fight back, how they screw over local air space, and many other.

Not to mention how if it weren't jews doing this and if it were, lets say, russia or greece or romania or anyone else other than a nation of jews or the united states thanks to their propaganda network and relation to the west ******* over a neighboring nation, people would downright lose their **** so hard.

Also how the kikes keep up the GODS CHOSEN PEOPLE GOY IT WAS OUR LAND ALL THE TIME WE WERE CHASED OFF YES YES, act is really pissing people off.

1. It's still how we do things. That would be why the Israel/Palestine conflict is being referenced, albeit mockingly. But we could say the same thing for what's going on in the Ukraine. For greater examples, look at the European land-grabs throughout the first half of the 20th Century.

2. It's still a ****** thing to do. Just because it happened a long time ago and arguably made the world a better place doesn't change the fact that it sucked for the people living there beforehand. Even though the Vikings set the course of Europe from about 800 AD on, they're still widely regarded as assholes. Sure, we celebrate a select few but we certainly don't condone the overall rape-and-pillage mindset they had.

That said, let's also remember Sarah Silverman has been supporting her sister's elections in the Meretz party, attempting to oust the MIC-supporting Israeli congress for years now, and is clearly not a supporter of Israel's aggressive foreign policies and questionable ethics.

There was a fundamental difference in the way that the Europeans and the way that the Natives viewed land, the former believing that one could own land and once owned the resources of it belonged only to the owner, and the latter believing that ownership of land was impossible and that it was there for the franchise of anyone who needed it. So, according to history, there is truth to the idea that the natives shared and the Europeans did not, but the oversimplification of the issue and neglecting of the inclination towards warfare that most tribes had is moronic.

I never understood the whole Palestine thing

Some indigenous people live there, everything is barren, Jews get there, magic of irrigation turns it fertile, Muslims invade and take over, Christians liberate the holy land, Isreal becomes recognized as a state, Palestine is haven of Muslims who for some reason think they're entitled to it even though Jews got there first, of the three of them

It comes to the 2 sons of Abraham Ishmael and Isaac. They are arguing over who has the rights to claim the holy land. Ishmael was first born but was not from Abraham's wife Sarah so he and his mother, Sarah's maid Hagar, was shown the door. Isaac was the second born but he was a legit child. So Jews and Muslims argue who gets the dead guy's land.
