I wonder if Ant has ever sent a gal a picture of an empty egg carton before. I bet he has.

By trivializing the destruction of Native civilizations and enveloping of their lands by Europeans you're distorting the reality and importance of what happened so that you can hand wave the past and "just get on with it" like a good, forward thinking Westerner.

That's all very vague and subjective language.
A Holocaust dernier might for instance doubt the number people killed, the existence of gas chambers, etc. Did I say anything that was actually ahistorical or are you just saying that I didn't show enough reverence? |
@Bat
That whole anarcho-nihilist schtick certainly didn't last long. I thought everything and everyone sucked and nothing mattered? |
I'm saying that you're essentially denying the Holocaust because you're trivializing a historical event to keep moral questions at a distance. The mechanics of denying the Holocaust and trivializing the Native American holocaust are going to be necessarily different just the same as German fascism is going to be different from American fascism but you're obscuring the forest by looking at the trees. It's still trivializing the non-in group to bolster the in-group.

Pretty sure saying "Hitler >>>>>" and that America never produced anything as awesome is literally trivializing the actual Holocaust. |
