Fuck. I love ‘America’s’ indigenous people. I always wonder what this land would be like if America didn’t do 6 holocausts to occupy it.

God I fucking hate America.

For real, I've been doing a bunch of reading lately on the history of the indigenous peoples of my area of the US.

Now, every time I pass a dead strip mall, I think to myself, "We did a genocide for this fucking bullshit???"

Anyway, death to America

holy shit this dude was based as fuck.

also the fact that his remains were shipped to an army camp, then he was posthumously beheaded and his skull was shipped to the Smithsonian instead of his family, where it stayed for 72 years before his descendants became aware it was there and appealed to have it returned, and then then it took another 14 years before his skull was actually returned to them, is so incredibly far beyond fucked.

not sure if it’s mentioned in the link, but his skull was allegedly being used as an ashtray too

[-] lapis@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

Wait is targeting military leadership a war crime?

"The [ruling class] calls its own violence: law, but that of the [underclass]: crime." (modified stirner quote)

According to the article, it looks like the context in which he killed the general was in an ambush during negotiations. I figure that that is why it was considerer a war crime.

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 31 points 3 months ago

using the Uno reverse card is a war crime apparently, as if government never did that exact shit to native americans

You were only following orders and animal life is worth less than human life, NTA.

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Animal life and indigenous people are the same thing to a colonizer.

[-] Dagadashko@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I'm certainly not trying to run cover for a colonial framing of history. It just seemed, from the question, that he lacked that context for the event.

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

I would simply not let myself get killed, sounds like a skill issue to me
