      Russia is this dick in this war. Ukraine has not been a saint in its history. No country has. No native American tribe has been a saint either. If you think one has… name it.

          Virtually all practiced slavery with those captured through war. Slave labor was common. Sex slaves were also used pre-columbian. Many even accepted African slaves as gifts from the British in more recent times.

            you’re conflating slavery with the slave trade and nations with people.

            both are reprehensible, but the barbarity of the slave trade that americans engaged in is on an entirely genocidal & morally bankrupt level than the slavery practiced by some native americans and its practice was relagated individual members of native americans; not entire nations.

              Yet they still practiced slavery and also taking of children during conflics to assimilate into their own tribe… which is a war crime now. Point is people are dicks everywhere.

                only some people are dicks; the question is whether or not we give them power over us to push their dickish ways unto us like we do today under capitalism.
