44. No, I'm saying that white supremacy isn't new to any nation or culture
Tue May 9, 2023, 01:17 PM
May 2023

The Native Americans harmed each other. The English hurt each other and others. The Chinese hurt each other and others. The nations and cultures that had better arms and more power dished it out to the nations and cultures with poorer arms and less power. Every nation we know about in history had slaves and there has been hierarchies from time out of mind. So, I'm saying it is no surprise that Hispanics will join forces with the current fascist trend. And it seems tht even if most people wouldn't torture or kill other people, most humans will go along, to get along.

The only country I can think of that hasn't been bellicose or hateful is Switzerland.
