  • Worhip "goodness." Don't worship a people, whether it be whites, Indians, blacks, Chinese, etc. Why? Criminal thinkers exist in all strata of society. That is to say, an individual Zulu in 1817 might have been very good, but Shaka Zulu was as evil as Adolf Hitler.

    Like in Star Wars III: Reveng of the Sith, there are always heroes and villains on each side. Learn to spot the criminals. They are the people without conscience. They come in all colors, genders, ages, aptitudes.

  • @karlswansson

    Acknowledged.

    Now the point of mentioning this would be what on a rhetorical level?

  • @amdturion123

    They lived with their land for at thousands and thousands and thousands of years in perpetual balance.... Europeans came here 500 years ago and we are a decade or so away from Worldwide Ecological collapse.... Yes I'd say that "in some way" they ARE ahead of their time!

  • no one has mentioned how incredibly bloodthirsty and expansionist the IC was toward other native tribes

  • @tylerthewon Um the Greeks? Dummy!

  • @balerinauzicka I hope you heard of them before that game or else you are a dumb dope who ought to be executed.

  • @amdturion123 And Washington thanked them by wiping them out.

  • @StJamesapostle

    I guess you never heard of the Aztec Empire.
