"They raped so we can rape!"
You can try to sidestep colonialism, but you won't be able to do it effectively
Anarchy solves so much of this bs
I think you should be free to, but I think people should also be free to jump you for doing so
You've wasted a lot of time and a lot of words to just confirm that you hold the views of a largely uneducated hillbilly
Your defence of colonialism is that some Indigenous tribes tried to survive by forming alliances? That’s like justifying a mugging because one of the victims tried to negotiate
Colonialism isn’t a team sport -- it’s systemic domination. Indigenous people didn’t “play a large part” in colonisation; they were subjected to it, fought it, and are still dealing with the consequences. Romanticising it like it was some joint venture is historically lazy and morally bankrupt
not interested in watching a trash vid, thanks
Not true, and a narrow-sighted extremist outlook on binary politics

The tribes that allied with the US weren't victims bullied into being our friends, often we warred with tribes that were their enemies. Remember the tribes were brutal long before settlers arrived in America. There was slavery, genocide and torture.
And some of those tribes played a HUGE part in colonizing and without their help the US Armies likely would have lost. Now sure there were some tribes who warred against the United States.
For instance do you know the historical significance of these 5 tribes? Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek (also known as Muscogee), and Seminole
Those tribes all made a very large profit off slavery, and joined the Confederacy to keep slavery alive.
Those were also the tribes that mainly consisted of the Indians from Trial of Tears.
You're once again mistaking context for justification. Yes, Indigenous societies weren't utopias -- but the existence of conflict or slavery within tribes doesn't somehow excuse the industrial-scale violence, land theft, genocide, and cultural erasure that followed colonisation
The fact that some tribes allied with colonisers isn't proof they "helped colonise" -- it proves they were making impossible choices under existential threat. It’s the equivalent of two people being mugged, and one hands over their wallet while the other resists. That doesn’t mean one of them was “part of the mugging”. That's lazy and fallacious thinking
And yes, the Five Civilised Tribes owned Black slaves and had complex roles in the Civil War -- but they were also forcibly removed from their land via the Trail of Tears. You're cherry-picking facts to build a narrative where colonisers are heroes and Native peoples are either complicit or to blame. You're not telling history, you're spreading propaganda
You're desperately trying to paint colonialism as some sort of co-op between tribes and settlers. It was conquest. And your attempt to repaint that with selective anecdotes is ironic after accusing me of "fantasising about woke history"
If you want to take extremes and pit them against each other, that would be funny to see how much they have in common
go with far right vs far left.
If you want to take a progressive, then be so kind use intelligent conservatives of the standard variety, rather than 'far right'.
Allying with something means you're helping those folks, but I find the mental gymnastics to be entertaining.
