It's 1860 and Dakota territory has a white population of about 5,000 and 360 US civilians were brutally murdered. That's like if 23 million 2023 americans were killed. That's TEN THOUSAND NINE ELEVENS. that's almost FOUR HOLOCAUSTS

Clearly something has to be done and, this being war, innocent Indians will surely die. We must do whatever we can to minimize this suffering by providing a reservation refuge and a humanitarian corridor to get them there safely. Don't like it? Well what's your plan???

Liberals have been saying the same shit in service of a slightly softer genocide for as long as liberals have existed

heartbreaking settlers are immigrants and should assimilate.

Person 1: "For no' finvær i dag! Solen skinner, ikke en eneste sky i himmel'n—"

Person 2: "Listen here, buddy, you're in AMERICA, so quit that foreign yakkin' and start speakin' like the locals do!"

Person 1: "Hau! Erika emáčiyapi. Wíyuškiŋyaŋ waŋčhíŋyaŋke."

You joke, but liberals do unironically ask this if you broach the subject

do you condemn the ruthless Welsh attacks on the rightful Norman rulers of Brytannia

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

They didn't go far enough

Did you mean condone?

I only condemn the Sabra brand. All other kinds of Sioux raids against settlers are delicious, especially the kind you make at home with friends!

Do you condemn John Brown's raid on harpers ferry

[-] Hohsia@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

Can someone please get an actual liberal’s take on this

Should be all the evidence needed to declare history a moot point in amerikkka-clap

Or idk. Maybe I’m a big dummy for expecting people’s beliefs to be consistent

I brought this up to Vaushites and they were just like "muh never attack innocent civilians, only military installations". Kinda curious how you get the settlers to leave if they have a 100% assurance no violence will be done to them.
