I've been reading An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States for Young People to my kiddo, and it's just incredible how persistent, systematic, and brutal the settlers were to the Indigenous. I plan on posting them later, but there are direct quotes from Washington and even Jefferson explicitly calling for the eradication of the Indigenous.

Is there anyone else in history as systematically ruthless as the capitalist West? Not sure if even the Vikings or Mongols can compare.

Just people wanting to replicate European nobility on a new land mass via extermination. Just trash human beings that figured out you can have all the advantages of wealth and power with a veneer of enlightenment by quoting Voltaire, etc
