Judging people by the content of their character and their opinions, and not their superficial characteristics is an American value. Is that an alien concept to people who supposedly enjoy such a high quality of life?
What on earth are you talking about? I’m asking why you’re scared of losing magic internet points and need to hide behind throwaway accounts and you’re here talking about the inner fortitude of the American character.
For what it’s worth, not that you asked but this year in particular has really only cemented my view of the general US citizen as a very scared individual who is terrified to stand up for anything.
What you’re doing right now is actually great example of that under what could only be described as the lowest stakes scenario possible.
You could probably learn something from the “cheese eating surrender monkey” French who you’re all to happy to compare yourselves against but at least they are willing to fight for what they have.
Really crazy how we are taught from an early age the horrors of the holocaust and other genocides, and aboutour moral superiority compared to those that didn't intervene back then... "Never again. If this this happened today we know better to stop it"... And then look at tens of thousand of people being mass murdered by a genocidal civilization and complain that Spain intervened because... a priests burned books (something that I absolutely do not condone of course)?
Were we wrong to destroy half of Europe to stop Germany too? Really trilled to know future generation will talk about us as the bad guys because we destroyed German art and books as we stopped a literal mass genocide.
> We didn't "intervene" until the germans declare war on us.
Yes, that was mistake and the lesson that should be learned.
> The genocidal civilization was Spain, not the aztecs.
This is complete revisionism, Spain laid war on the Aztecs supported even by other indians, it wasn't a voluntary biological warfare. The Aztecs killed tens of thousands of people per year.
> Who is we? Who destroyed half of europe to stop germany?
The allies. Are Allied bombings considered a contentious subject now?
> Did we wipe out the germans? Did we wipe out the german language, culture, history, etc?
Spaniards did not "wipe out" indian people, the Aztec civilization went the way of every conquered civilization. Did Arabs wipe out Egyptian language, culture, history, etc or did it dwindle in importance over the centuries as a new civilization took over the other?
> and aboutour moral superiority compared to those that didn't intervene back then..
Didn't intervene? You act like it was an act of charity. We didn't "intervene" until the germans declare war on us.
> And then look at tens of thousand of people being mass murdered by a genocidal civilization and complain that Spain intervened because...
Spain "intervened"? The genocidal civilization was Spain, not the aztecs. The aztecs didn't wipe themselves out. The spanish did.
> Were we wrong to destroy half of Europe to stop Germany too?
Who is we? Who destroyed half of europe to stop germany?
> Really trilled to know future generation will talk about us as the bad guys because we destroyed German art and books as we stopped a literal mass genocide.
Did we wipe out the germans? Did we wipe out the german language, culture, history, etc? Are you really equating what we did to germany to what the spaniards did to the aztecs?
Witch hunts were capital punishment inflicted on pagan worshipers, not human sacrifices, and they were several tens of thousands in the span of three centuries.
Executions in Spain, Portugal, and Italy combined are estimated to have been 1000 in total. [1]
