Come now, we've invaded far fewer of the world's countries than the UK.

The real hypocrisy is that every last fucking one of us comes from immigrants, and yet half of us are eager to pull up the ladder behind us.

To be fair the UK hasn't invaded many countries that still exist. Their creation of new countries is responsible for about half of global conflicts, but the didn't invade those countries.

They are the descendants of those broken countries tho

Invaded fewer, yes. Destabilised for greed and oil, causing mass migration to European countries, that's a whole other story lol

Sorry, I was napping when they asked us if they should do that.

Except the natives who people just like to forget

Everyone originates from Africa.

Didn’t the natives immigrate from Asia?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Correct. Between 30,000 and 16,000 years ago, humans came to North America from Siberia..

At least as far as we know so far.

They found a footprint in San Diego, back in the late 90s that shows that people were here at least ~~120,000~~ 20,000 years ago or some shit.

Yep. There's no 'natives'. Shits been getting invaded and conquered forever.

People have been dying from measles for forever. We know better now and can stop.

Just because everything was invaded in the past doesn't mean we can't do it differently in the future.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How does either of your comments relate to my point of there being no natives?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

The idea that there are no natives and everywhere has been invaded forever implies that is the normal way of things.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

we might be forgot but we never forget

its just that we want our ancestral land to be preserved and respected. Rare have I ever heard someone from the rez hate on refuges. Our anger is purely with the way we are treated by our own federal government and by corporations.

So if you need to leave your homeland because of reasons?

Let's continue what was started in 1492

LET THE REFUGES COME AND BE PROSPEROUS. JUST LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS.

The great turtle island is big enough to hold us all on her back. Boarders should never exist.

Borders*

Boarders can be cool people

Alright, every last one of us who isn't of 'pure blood' in the US comes from immigrants.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

That would included those that you consider 'natives'.
