Don’t forget the people who went there because their home country didn’t allow them to religiously persecute others anymore.

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.

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
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.

What about Asian countries?
What about them?
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
