Can I give the Indians dysentery?
Or trade them blankets covered in diseases for huge plots of land?
Bonus points for doing it back when people still thought disease was caused by miasma.
As opposed to now where you're expected to wear a mask everywhere you go because of the COVAIDS that's everywhere at all times? But I digress.
It's funny how people claim the settlers knew enough about epidemiology to engage in biological warfare while at the same time stupid enough to not know the importance of washing their hands. Though, it's funny considering the existence of soap has been around (and hardly changed) since Babylonian times.
A true player!
Nice Simpsons reference
“You were caught by the white devils and forced to walk the trail of tears. You died of exposure.”
As long as the endings are as curt and horrible as they always were - i’m mostly ok with it.
Native tribes were engaged in warfare, occassional butchering of other tribes, etc, just like white/black/asian/etc peoples were when their ancestors lived in tribes.
Some native tribes were delighted for white people to show up and provide them with weapons to destroy their neighbors who they had been in endless warfare with. Which the same thing those europeans ancestors had been doing themselves a few hundred or thousand years before that.
Ritual human sacrifice tends to do that to a culture
Such a heartless reaction, no wonder the Aztecs were so curious about whether there was one in there or not.
Which I dont think gets appreciated enough by a lot of people.
You see people show up who look nothing like you, arriving on what for all you know are moving islands, wearing what look like turtle shells of a material you dont know but makes them extremely difficult to attack, with swords made of the same material which is just as sharp as your obsidian without breaking as easily, with sticks that shoot smoke and fire and kill whoever they point it at, as well as much bigger fire sticks that can even destroy a building. And they have come speaking a new language but you eventually gather they want your gold and to have you worship their god.
And your first reaction is to run to them and beg them to kill the Aztecs, and you will worship them as gods if they do it.
Just how bad are the Aztecs to make that happen?
And now we have SJW's and Leftist trying to say that we should respect them and saying that Hispanics should identify with them instead of whatever else they identify with. Which I have found is just another stick being added to the camel that is "Fed Up Hispanics joining lockstep with Right Wing Populist", because they have far more in common with the Conquistadors than the Aztecs (almost like Hispanics are descended from this or something).
The "noble savage" myth is one of the most damning.
Had your chance. Could have wiped them out.
everything is gay
Some gay people have to have been nurtured into it at this point with the astronomical rise of people claiming to be gay.
Fine, now do storylines from the POV of the wolf, the bison, and the beaver. Get fucked over by humans of all skin colours.
Fuck the natives, they have access to all the modern amenities of a high tech civilization without ever having contributing bumpkus to it. Fuck them to hell. I feel much more real sympathy for the wildlife, no fucking joke.
Why stop there, what about the poor insects that were killed by the wagon wheels.
The thing is, their ancestors were full willing members in slaughtering the fuck out of everything they could trap for the fur trade, and still get mad when you suggest that the world has moved on and maybe they shouldn't bother wildlife any more, because they don't FUCKING NEED TO. They wanna be wild animals, fine, let them go naked and nap stone, AND LET ME HUNT THEIR MONKEY ASSES IN THE NAME OF WHITE CULTURE! Fucking Golgothans in ape-skins.
I was being sarcastic. Because I could see them doing it from the pov of the buffalo. Please don’t think I’m mocking your post. I just imagined a Babylon bee article about a new Oregon trail from the viewpoint of the animals or insects
Isn’t what saved the Buffalo was people putting them on private lane. I used to not understand why hunting and fishing has seasons or regulations like they do but now I get it.
Did you see the news about the Lascaux cave paintings? Ever notice the dots interspersed amongst the paintings of the wildlife? Apparently, they were learning to keep track of breeding seasons. Though back then, they likely would have taken full advantage of it, rather than treating it as hands-off time.
Anyway, Natives here can claim up to ten cows or bison from the government. All they have to do is fucking ask for it, basically. (The ex and I were going to actually go into cattle this way with a buddy, but the rent-to-own land deal we had with these insane old pig farmers turned out to be a long-running scam.)
Go to any other part of the world and you will find indigenous groups who were conquered. Not that I condone violence against anyone but for most of the world’s history slavery and land conquest was quite common and there where massacres of whites (granted woke historians don’t have issues with that). We need to stop teaching this as if the rest of the world was done peaceful paradise and America is unique in that aspect.
How many indigenous groups did the Romans wipe out or take over? I know Mansa Musa took over territory to expand his empire. In one of Sowell’s books he talks about how Shaka Zulu was doing the same thing to neighboring tribes that the British did when they defeated him.
The native Americans have a long and storied warrior culture for no reason.
Nope.
None at all.
Just for show!
Yep. Lots of history. I live in Texas now but was born and raised in Oklahoma and we had to learn a lot about Native Americans and sometimes had tribal representatives speak with our class. Definitely a lot of warrior history and certain tribes were more powerful due to the same land conquest that was common across the world.
But they lived in harmony and peace. What were the warriors there for?
Good point
They were really into cosplay. They were just LARPers about previous warrior tribes. Who were also just really into cosplay, of course.
A lot of tribes also wanted to mingle and mate with the whites because they had cool shit and were better at stuff.
Being a Native American now is amazing. Everything’s free and you can start your own casino with black jack and hookers.
Look up the book Commanche Empire. It talks about the empire made during the European colonial period by the tribe.
Cool. Will do
Ask the neighbors of the Aztecs and the Apache what they thought of them. I’m sure they’ll say that they were peaceful and loving neighbors.
Go to Britain right now and see the indigenous population being colonised. Example: their prime minister.
I hate these people so much.
I mean, they're not entirely wrong.
What happened to the indigenous people is a shining example of what happens when you are unable or unwilling to repel illegal aliens from your land. When you're too busy infighting among different tribes to pay attention to the real invasion.
There are lessons here to be learned, but those lessons are not "deification of indians"
The Native Americans allowed open borders for all because diversity was their strength!
Oh, make no mistake, many of the tribes were more than willing to accept the settlers who were willing to sell them guns and beast of burden. Hell, many of them were totally fine if it meant the other tribes who were fucking around finally got the chance to find out.
All this crap mostly made me want to be a conqueror because people are going to be pissed off at us anyway.
So instead of hunting wild game, hunt white men for food?
Kys
I think I'll pick the off button
native american, scholars. Pick one.
So they think that people coming onto other people’s land is an invasion. I’d love to hear their take on the current state of the southern border.
Muh culture is not ur avatar?
I've forgotten what their position is with options to play as different shades of brown. I scarcely remembered this old scandal from Animal Crossing, but little else otherwise.
invasion, huh? some kind of replacement, maybe?
'You fucked around and now are found with a hole in you head thanks to an armed Furry"
With one general exception, I don't blame anyone for looking at the world today and lamenting about muh ancestors.
West Euros did a whole ton of murdering of one another just like we describe NA natives doing, it is a phase of civilization. Eventually the situation develops, with or without external ahem, help. Who knows what could have been.
It's the right of like 92% of the world's population to complain about lost possibilities, get mad, and bug out. We will soon be smushed entirely into NATO, EU, BRICS, more separated than ever from our individual ethnic "what-could-have-been's" while our lives are run by an even smaller, more condensed group of elite than ever
It wasn't an "adventure" for anyone.
Yeah whatever. Let's just get to the part 5 minutes in where I lose half my wagon to a river 2 feet deep. That fucking part is probably the first video game villain I encountered as a kid.
So what, I can play as a native and scalp the neighbouring tribe now?
Personally, I prefer to roll Mohawk for the 50% chance to proc a second scalp every time you scalp. Really speeds up the hairsmithing advancement.
See, if they worked it as "we added a new game mode btw" it'd be a good thing. But they're insufferable shits.
Literally half of the non-native in the game are black, even to the point of ridicule. "I'm a doctor with max stats in negotiation, way finding, and carpentry fleeing PERSECUTION in the East!"
The game is desperate to give credit where it is not due.
"Exterminate the annoying Indians" better be an option.
How intolerant of them. Westward expansion wasn't an invasion, it was just undocumented migration!
If I play as an Indian, can I raid a settler convoy and slaughter everyone in it, then wear their skins as a hat? If I eat a settlers heart, can I learn to shoot a musket?
Cool, which tribe? Oh, wait, leftoids see other groups as a single, homogenous entity that never formed groups that fought with one another.
Wait Oregon Trail series? I only knew about the one. How many are there?
Yes, that's what mass migration is.
