What does the first nations of Canada have to do with comparing British Colonialism in India to American self-rule?

You're bashing the US for committing gebocide and minimizing everything the British Empire ever did, despite the Brits killing significantly more people. Then YOU brought Canada into it acting like it's got a squeaky-clean history and acting like the First Nations people have nothing to do with the conversation.

Go fucking look into how many mass graves of First Nations kids have been found near the Christian schools the Canadian government set up to "integrate" them, as if that forced process wasn't genocide in its own right, even if you ignored all the deaths. Not to mention that the Canadian government still refuses to acknowledge the deaths.

No. I am saying that British rule of the American Colonies was not worse than what those colonies did to themselves with independence. Is this REALLY too hard for you to follow?

The British government deliberately set up those colonies to fall into chaos after they left via setting ethnic minorities up as a ruling class and setting borders that reinforced ethnic conflicts.

How are you so ignorant of history to not realize this?

So the reason America is a piece of shit country is because of what the British did in the 1700s?
