(I love how people down vote the removed comment.
Way to teach me a lesson! )
Jesus fuck.
Can't make an absolutely factual and direct comparison between Columbus and netanyahoo without some fucking idiot removing my comment.
Both were Jewish. Both were Spanish. Both set on foreign soil -killing the native people in an expansionist scheme of looting land. Both were racist. Both committed genocide.
These are 100% true.
Columbus is an asshole. Bibi is an asshole.
Fucking read instead of getting pissed off at me because you are offended.
Also, again, fuck whoever removed my comment.
As a native of Central America, way to minimize the genocide of my people while obsessing on trends.
European colonizers killed 56 million of my people 56 fucking million. My tribe was being genocided in the 1940s as well, and later in the 80s by Americans. Americans who now moralize and take the high ground, while ignoring their own atrocities
I'm not american.
Genocide is fucking horrific. Whether Armenians, native American (north and south), the holocaust etc.
I'm not minimising.
If a current genocide isn't important, because they haven't killed enough people yet...
If you think it's a fucking 'trend' (seriously, wtf) I feel bad for you.
I don't ignore the horrors my country has done.
I am loud and I am an ally to the first nations.
I call out the ongoing genocide here as well.
I call out our police and politicians and institutions.
If comparing two evils is a no-no, well I guess I'll just stop saying anything about anything because one might be more evil and that's bad.
I'm sorry for the pains of your past. Help stop the pains of others futures.
