No, other Europeans killed indian natives as well. I’d say USA has been the worst of the colonial powers in their treatment of the natives with Spain coming second.

Really depends on what area. There are parts of Mexico where the native population was completely decimated, like the more northern parts, like Nuevo León. Many of the depopulations of native Indians in the southern parts of the modern area of USA also happened when they were part of the Spanish Empire, like the Guale, Timucua and Apalachee of Florida, or the people of New Mexico, and the various people of California.

Tolkien supported the fascists in the Spanish civil war. He was also a member of the Catholic church so he probably supported the Catholic missions of the Spanish empire, which were basically concentration camps.

He had his own crazy beliefs. We can’t know how he would react to this.

FFS we need to stop idolizing media personalities anyone like this.

But the DPRK is still a tyranny without modern parallel

There is nothing that justifies the weird reaction that westerners have towards Asian countries. It’s all a spectacle to make themselves feel better.

I am truly convinced after seeing line go down.

No one could answer this question.

Korea actually has a lot of migration of Koreans from China and Western Asia. It is actually a pretty unique situation. The Chinese Koreans already speak Korean and their culture align perfectly with Korea.

It’s in all ways a better situation than western countries. But no, let’s pretend that Asia is collapsing. Better than fixing issues in the west.

Westerners just REALLY want wealthy, peaceful Asian countries to be uniquely awful.

Ehhhh, for once I don’t think so. But I think that’s because the archetypical male yapping podcast is Joe Rogan

This meme has always felt like it came from another universe.

In a world where yapping podcasts aimed at men are derided, this is the one meme that portrays them in a positive light.

I guess it’s the different cultures that invented the number zero?

Except Babylon didn’t?

It’s really not that serious.

Not even… The podcast I was listening to says he made these claims years before Exxon began their propaganda campaign.

Congo

Not sure. I heard a podcast about one of his books
