I find it kinda funny when the liberals do the land acknowledgement thing and they'll name numerous tribes. And half of the named tribes are extinct because the people who conquered them genocided them.
In a way, it's a rather "racist" perception on the part of leftists. Where they tout tribal warfare as being nowhere near as big of a deal, simply because the scale of war and weaponry employed aren't comparable to that of Europeans.
Which is also doubly stupid if they're not comparing against examples of European warfare with similar population sizes/density and relative technological development.

Tribes conquering other tribes is as old as time but somehow it’s only relevant when Europeans do it
