re: #361 LudwigVanQuixote

But the US government really did have the power to murder all American Indians down to the last child, and they did not.

Some tribes were eradicated. Others were entirely dispossessed. The treatment was abominable, and shameful. But the Nazis really would have killed all of the Jews, all of the gypsies, enslaved all of the slavs.

Americans really did not kill all of the American Indians.

It is a difference. It is not in any way a proud thing that we’re not as bad as Nazi germany, that’s not a rallying cry, but it is still a true thing.
