Don't forget the people who went there because their home country didn't allow them to religiously persecute others anymore.
Fun fact, the British Empire only sent criminals to Australia because the American Revolution stopped them from sending them to North American colonies.
Fun fact: The British Empire is responsible for ongoing crimes that dwarf anything done by those it deems "criminal".
Spoiler alert...
The criminals made it here to US
I'm sure UK primarily exported the religious nut jubs to the US and the crims to the antipodes.
Not saying there isn't overlap between the two groups though...
*genocidal tax evaders gang
*genocidal
Such is every country ever!
What the US did to the indigenous population was uniquely horrible. And while it may have echoes in other places throughout history, it was certainly not normal, average, or mundane.
sobs in Tibetan, Balkan, Jewish, Slavic, Circassian, Tutsi, Finnish, Irish, Uyghur, and everyone who ever lived near the Mongols
While it's a fucked up sort of comforting to think genocide is a single nation's "quirk", it's distressing depressingly common throughout history. It's happened constantly, and is ** LITERALLY happening now**, in Gaza, Xinjiang, Sudan, Ukraine, and Myanmar.
Unique? Gods I wish
LITERALLY happening now
Yes by the same scumbags that you're trying to "contextualize". Gross.
Unique? Gods I wish
Yes, it's all the same ongoing imperial system. That's not actually a justification.
Those nations and cultures that are still here? You're comparing them to the 1,000 nations completely wiped from history that you can't even name? Gods, I wish you knew their cultures and histories 1/1000000000th as well as the Jews.
I guess it's comforting to think that what happened was common.
Sorry the above genocides aren't good enough for you. I'll be more discerning next time you bring it up unprompted in a shitpost comm.
Note added for the #1 genocide enjoyer
Saying the us are tax evaders, shitpost worthy. Saying they are genocidal, bro try hard sweat bro just laughs here bro go bro bro.
Looks like you got a pin in you. Here, let me take it out. I'm sorry, you don't have to think about the Indians in your hahacomm.🫂
If it's "every country ever", that's primarily because the global system of statehood has been violently imposed by genocidal empires to enforce their oppression. There weren't any "countries" before that.
Country founded by genocidal maniacs (UK)
Damn, that was supposed to have been edited out in the history books.
It's interesting because i'm thinking of the "Norman Conquest" but you can fairly reasonably apply it to e.g the foudnation of the union (~1707) when England + Scotland became Britain, or the Roman distinction of Britannia as 1 or 2 defined provinces.
Possibly true also of angles and saxons, possibly true of celtic migration, possibly true of the pre-celtic migration...
That's life
To be fair that is pretty much every country when you look back in history. Not trying to let the UK off the hook here though.
I agree
What about Asian countries?
What about them?
I commented on wrong post, I thought this was a different post. My bad.
Y'all gonna come after literal enslavers for tax evasion?
This meme is low key fash bullshit.
TIL Fascism is when shitpost about America
