Why or why not? I've been struggling to understand fascism and am curious.

Do 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.

Ward 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.

That 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.
