The Ubiquity of Conquest (Manthropology)

Hey, guess what? It turns out white people did *not*, in fact, invent the concept of conquest.

So in this day and age of immigration debates, a longstanding argument against any restriction, in settler nations like the US and Canada and increasingly elsewhere is “ACKYUALLY YOU TOOK LAND FROM OTHER PEOPLE SO THEREFORE YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN”. This is also a long-standing mockery of Europeans towards the USA, perhaps one that will decline since it’s being used against them now.

Let’s make something perfectly clear-OF COURSE America was built by one group of people coming in and conquering another group of people. Nobody denies that. But the title of this video says it all—the amount of countries that DIDN’T have, at some point in its history, one group of peope coming in and shitslapping the inhabitants that were already there can basically be counted on one hand—if at all.

From what I’ve seen, people who cry about MUH INDIANS (I am of course referring to savvy immigrants and immigrant boosters who know how to game the zeitgeist, and not self-pitying white cucks who genuinely believe in the white guilt ideology) will do one of two things: Either ignore their homeland’s history of conquest COMPLETELY, or try to claim that it was somehow “less bad” than the Indian Wars. Dot Indians, for example, will sometimes try to claim that there were, in fact, NO Aryan conquests at all, and that the light-skinned high caste peope AND the Sanskrit language were indigenous to the subcontinent…despite all genetic and archaeological evidence to the contrary.

As a side note, the most absurd example of this happening was something that happened in my own private life—an Australian exchange student I was having a not-so-pleasant conversation with started whining about “MUH INDIANS” and what have you. When I called her out on how her own country has a colonial history identical to my own, she stammered a bit and claimed that the conquest of the USA was somehow worse because the Indians, and I quote, “had culture” that was destroyed by the evil paleface. The implication being that the Abos didn’t have any and therefore it was less bad to kill them. I’ll, uh…let you think about that for yourself.
