    What the US did to the indigenous population was uniquely horrible. And while it may have echoes in other places throughout history, it was certainly not normal, average, or mundane.

      sobs in Tibetan, Balkan, Jewish, Slavic, Circassian, Tutsi, Finnish, Irish, Uyghur, and everyone who ever lived near the Mongols

      While it’s a fucked up sort of comforting to think genocide is a single nation’s “quirk”, it’s distressing depressingly common throughout history. It’s happened constantly, and is ** LITERALLY happening now**, in Gaza, Xinjiang, Sudan, Ukraine, and Myanmar.

      Unique? Gods I wish

        Those nations and cultures that are still here? You’re comparing them to the 1,000 nations completely wiped from history that you can’t even name? Gods, I wish you knew their cultures and histories 1/1000000000th as well as the Jews.

        I guess it’s comforting to think that what happened was common.

          Sorry the above genocides aren’t good enough for you. I’ll be more discerning next time you bring it up unprompted in a shitpost comm.

          Note added for the #1 genocide enjoyer
