even if you don't believe "cultural obliteration" absent mass murder is a bad thing in itself, it says a lot that people who favor it have an exceptional track record of deciding that mass murder is a great way to achieve their goals

Because that's the final solution, when you decide some people have less value than others. Deny those people resources, deny them access to societal supports, and if they refuse to die then speed it along.

It always starts with shit like Henry's "seductive whisper of modernity" Once they see and understand just how much *better* we are then them they'll all fall over themselves to convert We will be greeted as liberators

Then when that doesn't happen, they get mad This is exactly how Martin Luther went from seeing himself as a great friend and protector to the Jews to crying out for them to be driven from their homes by a wave of fire when none of them became Lutherans

also this dude is denying genocide happened to Native Americans in the killing-people sense which, uh, is very, not, much, with the true, in the slightest?

That was my thought too, because once you decide some people are inferior to others, it’s very easy to cover up their deaths. Every effort at forced assimilation has resulted in murder because always some don’t comply.

Replying to @estarianne @arthur_affect and
yeah but when discussing Native American genocide, to prove it happened doesn't require proof that forced assimilation is genocide. I saw how the convo chain started, the guy saying there's no genocide is the only one who brought up forced assimilation

there's plenty of cases where Native Americans were targeted with outright murder AND there's forced assimilation, so even on his terms he's full of it

Yeah I mean they like to mix and match their terms freely I'm no great fan of Mao but the Great Leap Forward killing millions with hunger is therefore clearly not a "genocide" by their definition

But they NEVER fail to put the GLF on their list of "communist genocides" (possibly because they don't actually know what it was)
