Penn didn’t even conquer anyone, in fact he did quite literally the opposite and even paid the original “owners” of the land who had it taken by force from another tribe. Quaker history is quite unimpeachable when it comes to pacifism.
Oh yea, I remember learning about that in school. I just meant overall. It just shows their ignorance of history. Like the moronic blm protestors tearing down the Lincoln statue, Frederick Douglas statue, and the vandalization of that memorial for that black civil war regiment in Massachusetts.
I guess if I were to try to explain that about Penn they would just chant about being on stolen land
Of course, it’s never about reality it’s just about destroying western culture. Everytime I hear about “native” lands I always ask were they the first there? The answer every single time is no, but it isn’t about who originally “owned” the land, it’s about taking it away from western civilization. This is also why I just call Africans and “native Americans” colonizers because 1. It pisses them off and 2. It’s a completely accurate use of the term.
I remember some article talking about giving back the land Mt Rushmore is on to the Sioux. Of course in the comments there were people cheering on the article and then a guy who was full blooded Sioux mentioned that the Sioux had conquered another tribe that had been on that land and if you go back thousands of years you’ll find one tribe conquering another. The response he got was “well the Sioux didn’t have the same reach and power of the American govt”.

True. That term could be used for everyone
eh, tearing down lincoln statues is based.
