[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Screw off. We don’t care about your pet political causes and the gaping hole in your personality that causes you to promote this kind of stuff. Don’t care about about the claims and fairy wishes of indigenous groups or “land-back advocates”. We tolerate some of this crap in the name of good manners and being charitable. But there’s a limit.

It is a glorious day of national Thanksgiving. I am very grateful that European religious settlers founded the greatest civilization on earth, committed by its founding documents to ideals that were never, not once, within the founding spirit of any prior society.

And not for nothing, but if the North American indigenous peoples had had the ability to cross the Atlantic and the firepower, once there, to seize land and conform the local peoples to their customs, they would have done so without question. Many were very warlike and inclined toward expansion and capture on the continent. (As were most cultures of the era.) [b]We just happen to be much more advanced and way better at war. [/b]

To the victor belongs the spoils. [/quote]

What do you mean, "we?" You weren't there. I very much doubt that you are good at war. [/quote]

“We” are the Roman empire. Rome expanded into Pagan Europe and never stopped. Now the Roman imperial culture has conquered the world. All ofbus on DCUM are a part of that legacy like it or not.[/quote]

We are not the Roman Empire. Good lord.[/quote]

Wow what a detailed rebuttal. That settles it then… Or we could simply learn about history:

[b]Our government is literally inspired by ancient Roman politics. [/b]Christianity, the dominant religion of modern Europe was imposed on the native tribes of the north by the Romans. Kings and popes derived their authority throughout the centuries by tying their lineage to the Roman Empire.

“The Holy Roman Emperor title provided the highest prestige among medieval Roman Catholic monarchs, because the empire was considered by the Roman Catholic Church to be the only successor of the Roman Empire during the Middle Ages and the early modern period. Thus, in theory and diplomacy, the emperors were considered primus inter pares, regarded as first among equals among other Roman Catholic monarchs across Europe.”

How can an educated DC resident not know this very basic history of our own society?

Don’t you mean the ancient Greeks?

But you are right. The Christians have been murdering and oppressing people into submission for centuries.

Greek philosophy but Roman government. Also, Rome eventually conquered ancient Greece so the Roman culture was the ultimate imperial culture that carried through to the modern era. The plan was to erase all vestiges of Native American culture in the same way that they successfully wiped out and consumed any and all indigenous European pagan cultures. Europeans should stand in solidarity with the Native American tribes that survived since the same horrors were perpetrated against their own ancestors. It’s like Stockholm syndrome for the Brits to do that crap to the Native Americans.[/quote]
