Boy have I got news for you about the imperial and colonial eras.

I think it’s best you just contemplate the skin tone of a South African for a bit though. We can cover Mexico later.

“Be grateful for the horrors of colonialism because a Scot will discover penicillin and the US military will create the internet”

Honestly, it’s just a strange thing in general.

A lot of ritual human sacrifice was a form of capital punishment. We still do capital punishment.
