Slop.

I've been reading Civilized to Death, and in a section on the subjugation of the Taíno, the author quotes Columbus writing, "they are so guileless and so generous with all that they possess, that no one would believe it who has not seen it. They refuse nothing that they possess, if it be asked of them; on the contrary, they invite any one to share it and display as much love as if they would give their hearts" only to follow it up with "they shall make fine servants."

He also embarked on his genocide in the face of the 15th-century Catholic Church, an institution not exactly known for its gentle approach, saying that the Taíno should be recognized and treated as human, so it's not like you can say he was just a product of his time. Dude was enthusiastically horrible.

They say on x 🫩

"If you apply logic and morality once, then you'll have to apply it all the time!!!!"

Funny how they hang Christianity up there along with the others in an attempt at whitewashing the rest but all it does is smear shit all over Christianity by reminding everyone it went hand in glove with a lot of the atrocities of the “age of discovery”

Exploration and Progress are such vague terms as to be meaningless. Oh yeah?! You oppose benevolence? You oppose magnanimity?

Cool. So if you think all Muslims are terrorists and should be genocided, then you are condemning:

• Hygiene
• medicine
• also exploration
• Also western civilization (thermonuclear take? You can’t have Western Civilization without Islam. It has been a part of it for centuries.)

i was already on board, you didn't have to make it even more appealing

Progress

she misspelled "Manifest Destiny"

Did I stutter?

I fucking hate how these people act like things like "innovation" are something white people are born with. No Nikki, you're a fucking tradwife who dropped out of high school to sell Amway products, you never innovated on anything in your life and the lack of melanin in your skin doesn't mean you can claim credit for things done by people centuries ago with 0 connection to your miserable little life.

Credit where credit is due, we are not reducing Columbus to a genocidalremoved, it was actually Christopher Columbus who did that.

Of course I do

the Christian god is a genocidal removed

ah yes Exploration and Progress, two things that are definitely exclusive to the whities and no one else in the whole world did. very telling that she can't imagine these things without the slavery and genocide part.

I can, and I do ¯\(ツ)/¯

Stop ow ow ow stop twisting my arm fuck stop that hurts
