A relevant interview here, which I wish wasn't relevant.

"Within Genocide Studies, there’s been a slow movement with internal genocide research. Dirk Moses has been leading it for a while, shifting the purview on what they look at to mass violence more broadly, because if you look at the Holocaust, it wasn’t like a flip was switched. It was a meandering, gradual process where lots of things happened, but by the time you get to the actual implementation of the plan. So, again, I’m not even thinking, is genocide about to take place in the U.S.?"

“You shall not Pass” Gandorf. They want the land in our national parks. Especially Alaska . Inuit pay close attention to our people.

And fish stick guy just called for it. We get people caught up and they push us further into a pit so sickening and endless. We need to move faster to stop ru.

But it is historically accurate. The Spanish who arrived in the new world were men who thought it acceptable to use violence, but they met equally violent men. The pre-Colombian nations they encountered enslaved other peoples and practiced mass human sacrifice of their captives, as part of their religion. And many Native American tribes committed ethnic cleansing of less warlike neighbours, and kept slaves. Humans have always been brutish and prone to use violence for power over others. I know Vance has his own unpleasant agenda, but I don't support the "peaceful natives, oppressive Europeans" narrative.

it is irrelevant and the Indigenous population was deliberately exterminated whether you like it or not
