This whole thread is such dogshit lol, "ACTUALLY a caterpillar and a butterfly are totally different species, you need education to stop being so confused'
There is a pretty big difference between "a horribly destructive warlord sets up shop in a fortified port city and terrorizes the region for tribute while operating slave mines and plantations, and develops the concept of racism to excuse their behavior to the Pope" and "wave after wave of settlers land and systematically drive off or kill everyone in the region and then repeat this over and over until they've conquered and ethnically cleansed the entire continent explicitly in the name of racism," if only in understanding who was doing what and what the results were.
Like you can look at this happening right now: how different the conditions are between subjugated periphery states that are exploited for resources and brutally kept under the imperial hegemon's thumb, vs the active ethnic cleansing and landgrabs in occupied Palestine.
