Replying to @StefanMolyneux
I love that they think the "smallpox blankets" thing is real. Like people knew how to use biological warfare before anyone knew what germ theory was. When you got smallpox back then you thought it was because god was mad at you or a witch cursed you.

Considering germ theory didn't happen until around the 1860s I doubt the British were highly skilled in spreading diseases on purpose.

Even the wiki you forwarded has one letter written by one guy saying they offered the blankets as gifts to end an attack. There is ZERO evidence of any sort large scale distribution of smallpox blankets (because it doesn't work anyway). There's basically one obscure sentence.

Any scale distribution. If it was used as genocide there would be more than 2 blankets in the plan. There is 1 sentence in 1 guys journal about giving Indians blankets from the hospital. That's it.

You just have to think for a minute or two my friend – Europeans were absolutely terrified of smallpox, the idea that they would handle infected blankets is deranged. Plus they didn’t even know about germs back then.
