Oh no that’s new. Back when the genocide was in a more active phase and there were “Indian Wars” they were very explicit about it.

But today, you’re right, they just teach a few key atrocities and handwave the other hundred million. I must have misread lol

I think that’s just the different stages of settler-colonial development.

Go back far enough and everyone is where they are because their ancestors killed whomever was there first. Not that it justifies anything, but it’s genocides all the way down. Even native Americans wiped out a prior civilization if you go back far enough.

Do you… Think that list is authoritative?

The population of Indigenous Americans is estimated to have decreased from approximately 145 million to around 10 million.

135 million.

Not all of that was the US, the old empires of France and Spain and England played a huge role, but since it’s founding the US has killed millions along with Canada and Mexico. Disease played a large role, but much of that was deliberately spread which muddies the estimates.

And that’s just one of the genocides the US was involved in. There have been many others.

Leave that hurr durr US is big bad amirite shit on reddit.

I think you misspelled China. Reddit being completely filled with imperial core propaganda is one of the main reasons a lot of us came to Lemmy.

No the first try was enough, I was just giving you the benefit of the doubt in case you were a child or just got a computer.
