    yeah. you just sound like an asshole.

    Sorry. But no. I’m opposed to all of that.

    They literally genocided entire populations of indigenous people (and other Christians,) and your attitude seems to be “yeah but it seems to work for them so we should do that too”

    NO. absolutely not. FUCK NO.

    I’m not the nicest person, but at least I chose to be better than that.

      I chose to be better

      to what end or by what metric? I mean you ought to be anti-materialist, religious, or idealistic if you don’t value your own survival for its own sake. It’d be spiritual or non-materialistic to believe that there’s something more significant than the outcomes of who gets to survive/die. Same applies for associated cruel but successful strategies (i.e., capitalism, colonialism, statism, militarism)
