    Native Americans are the OG “first-timers” for these barbarians but they didn’t even leave enough of them to tell the story. 😐

      Not true, Native American historians exist today and tell their own stories. Most people just don’t know and don’t listen. Ned Blackhawk is a highly notable example. There are roughly 13 million Native North Americans in the US and there perspective can be heard if you are willing to look for it. AIM is effectively recent history. I want to be clear that I am not critizing you here, I just think that this common mentality glosses over their very active oppression and their fight against it.

        Thanks for the correction, man, and fuck the oppressors who continue doing the work of their forefathers. Hell will be too kind for these beasts.
