    you’re conflating slavery with the slave trade and nations with people.

    both are reprehensible, but the barbarity of the slave trade that americans engaged in is on an entirely genocidal & morally bankrupt level than the slavery practiced by some native americans and its practice was relagated individual members of native americans; not entire nations.

      Yet they still practiced slavery and also taking of children during conflics to assimilate into their own tribe… which is a war crime now. Point is people are dicks everywhere.

        only some people are dicks; the question is whether or not we give them power over us to push their dickish ways unto us like we do today under capitalism.
