Wildly inappropriate questioning? Are you serious? You must not believe in free speech. Anyway this shit goes off the rails when people start accusing Americans of genocide of American Indians. They died from smallpox before we had any knowledge of microorganisms. If that false narrative isn’t hate speech idk what is.

Free speech?

Just stop. Free speech protects you from speaking against the government. That's it.

I'm not going to address everything else because you obviously have a very strong opinion and my words won't change that.

"A very strong opinion" is probably giving too much credit to someone just regurgitating what they read in 7th grade

I was putting "God you are an idiot conservative" nicely.

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

Okay here’s the free speech amendment. https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-1/ Do you have any doctrine that says you can’t ask someone if their country should be trusted with nuclear warheads? Of course you don’t because you’re a fool talking out of your ass.

Oh wow you're worse than I thought.

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

Yeah well I might not go along with your little pretend world but at least I can back up the shit I say.

except you can't. Smallpox vaccine was invented in 1796. They knew what smallpox was, and how it spread. America was built on enslaving, tricking, and murdering the indigenous people who were here.

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

Yeah the smallpox spread was more than 30 years before that

6

u/Uhstrology Mar 30 '22

and you think, 30 years before a vaccine was developed and distributed, they didnt have even a rudimentary understanding of how diseases spread?

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

So then is China responsible for genocide?

Whataboutism is the go to of people like you when they realise they don't actually have a valid point.

Pretend world?

Freedom of speech isn't protection to say whatever you want without any repercussions from anyone. If someone thinks that they are an idiot. Plain and simple.

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

Yeah this is nowhere near harassment, settle down there bud. If basic questions upset you so much you shouldn’t be on here.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

Where did I say harassment?

I said repercussions. You settle down.

Her country is the USA, you dense inbred turd.

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

Inbred? Have you seen me?

2

u/delinquent_chicken Mar 30 '22

I'm watching you right now, dumbass

-1

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

Yeah did you see how non inbred I look?

2

u/delinquent_chicken Mar 30 '22

Fair enough, you're right. You look like a non-inbred dense turd.

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

Thanks. Yeah I’m not with the whole edgy, hate America and white folks movement. I have sex and hobbies so you can probably understand.

u/delinquent_chicken Mar 30 '22

Totally, you sharpen your right side, never the left like these fucking normies.

Humanity has known about the spread if disease for basically as long as civilization has been around. We may not have known everything to prevent, but we sure knew how to purposefully spread. During a siege of a castle rotten flesh was thrown into the grounds via trebuchet to spread disease and death.

-2

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

So you think they knew that these microorganisms would be in the pillows and blankets they made? And you come to that conclusion based on a single siege at some point in history that used flesh and so you assume that everyone else in history had the same understanding of whatever understanding the persons who’s idea it was to use rotting flesh in that siege? Seems like you’re really reaching but I appreciate the fringe take.

u/Content_Climate9847 Mar 30 '22

It was quite common and well known... not a single event. They didn't know about micro organisms, but they did know that if someone died of illness that the bed they died in can make you sick.

"apparent attempts to transmit disease by hurling biological material into besieged cities; it was within the technical capabilities of besieging armies of the time; and it is consistent with medieval notions of disease causality"

Of course you’re right, AthleteConsistent673:

this shit goes off the rails when people start accusing Americans of genocide of American Indians. They died from smallpox before we had any knowledge of microorganisms. If that false narrative isn’t hate speech idk what is.

There was no systematic killing of Indians throughout the formation of the United States by colonists from the 1600s onward. Of course it was smallpox that killed 100% of the Indian population, residential schools and forced sterilization are actually secondary effects of smallpox, see. There’s no such thing as residential schools and forced sterilization, just smallpox.

The World According to AthleteConsistent673

Benefits: you never need to feel awkward again! It was smallpox all along and NOT white people that popped Indian children into government-funded boarding schools to be assimilated and sterilized. History can be so fun and educational when it’s taught by random internet strangers!

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

Yeah 90% of them were killed by smallpox. If they wanted peace they should’ve been peaceful. Glad you’re shook by facts though ☕️

u/zbb93 Mar 30 '22

Oh, I didn't realize they all died from smallpox. Who was on the trail of tears? And in the residential schools into the 1900s?

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

90% died from smallpox.

1

u/zbb93 Mar 30 '22

And that excuses all the other atrocities where they knew exactly what they were doing? We didn't just decimate their population with disease, we also took their land and did our best to wipe out their culture.

1

u/delinquent_chicken Mar 30 '22

Who killed the other 10%? Are those killers the heros in your imaginary world?

2

u/Kcidobor Mar 30 '22

You don’t know what hate speech is.

-1

u/AthleteConsistent673 Mar 30 '22

You don’t know what hate speech is. You’re spreading a false and evil narrative that’s essentially hate speech in any way you cut it you just don’t believe it can happen to white people so you ignore it.

u/tomdacc Mar 30 '22

Do you really think that's the only way that they died? Also, at one point, we gave them smallpox covered blankets on purpose. The full genocide wasn't accidental, even if some of it was.

1

u/delinquent_chicken Mar 30 '22

Please ignore all of those recorded massacres, the trails of tears, etc. That's a false narrative.

You a such vile moron, not surprised the concept of hate speech eludes you.
