u/syn7fold - originally from r/GenZhouIf our standard of fascism is Nazi Germany then what would be colonial genocide of 100 MILLION Indigenous people. The enslavement of Africans…like slavery wasn’t just WORK. It was human trafficking that ripped families apart and destroyed dozens of African cultures and languages. Slave owners would eat their slaves and sell babies as alligator bait. America’s Jim Crow was so bad, that Nazi POWs in Texas were appalled by the mistreatment of black Americans.
The US isn’t a fascist state, but is the BLUE PRINT of white supremacy, Neo-colonization and 20th Century Fascism. Hitler was inspired by Jim Crow
u/applejuice72 - originally from r/GenZhouDo we have a source that clearly substantiates 100M? Not that I don’t think the US engaged in the systematic murdering of Indigenous people, but that number is industrial levels of efficient murder even if spread across 100 years evenly. From what I understand the spread of disease is what did the majority of it which, I don’t know if that constitutes as literal genocide in that sense which would have started with the Spanish more so than the American government. However the Spanish forced them into abject slavery and total subjugation.
u/parentis_shotgun - originally from r/GenZhouWard Churchill estimates that the North American Indian population went from 12 million in 1500 to barely 237,000 in 1900: "a vast genocide.. the most sustained on record."
It was nothing short of organized, expansionist, settler-colonial conquest. I also highly suggest reading an Indegenous people's history of the US. You can find the audiobook on torrents.
u/applejuice72 - originally from r/GenZhouThat person said ONE HUNDRED MILLION. Not that those numbers are paltry you gave, and I know that’s exactly what I am trying to say. To go from 100M then from 12M to 237k is quite the difference if I do say so myself and I am not denying the settler expansionist involvement in that.
