Fuck. I love ‘America’s’ indigenous people. I always wonder what this land would be like if America didn’t do 6 holocausts to occupy it.

God I fucking hate America.

For real, I've been doing a bunch of reading lately on the history of the indigenous peoples of my area of the US.

Now, every time I pass a dead strip mall, I think to myself, "We did a genocide for this fucking bullshit???"

Anyway, death to America

holy shit this dude was based as fuck.

also the fact that his remains were shipped to an army camp, then he was posthumously beheaded and his skull was shipped to the Smithsonian instead of his family, where it stayed for 72 years before his descendants became aware it was there and appealed to have it returned, and then then it took another 14 years before his skull was actually returned to them, is so incredibly far beyond fucked.

not sure if it’s mentioned in the link, but his skull was allegedly being used as an ashtray too

Wait is targeting military leadership a war crime?

According to the article, it looks like the context in which he killed the general was in an ambush during negotiations. I figure that that is why it was considerer a war crime.

using the Uno reverse card is a war crime apparently, as if government never did that exact shit to native americans

You were only following orders and animal life is worth less than human life, NTA.

Animal life and indigenous people are the same thing to a colonizer.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, I'm certainly not trying to run cover for a colonial framing of history. It just seemed, from the question, that he lacked that context for the event.

I would simply not let myself get killed, sounds like a skill issue to me
