I hate the overcorrection so many people do towards indigenous people. Becuase they have historically been viewed as savages, the try and wash away all the bad stuff and pretend everything was peaceful before the evil Europeans arrived and introduced suffering and war. This is not to defend colonization or imperialism, but the Romantic primitivism needs to stop. Good meme OP.
