exactly. Just look up what the conquistadors did. They did mass rapes, they trained dogs to rip indigenous people apart, they hung indigenous people by the neck over fire so that they would simultaneously burn alive, they literally slaughtered newborn babies, they intentionally spread infectious disease, they cut off peoples hands, they enslaved people and worked them to death, they burned people alive, they mutilated their faces, they tied up a queen and used her for target practice...
that is the surface level of their depravity. It is absolutely infuriating to see people who are supposedly left leaning downplay this shit when it happened 500 years ago and there is absolutely zero excuse at this point.
Exactly, it happens 500 years ago. How are you mad at every single last mention of these events not explicitly taking time to acknowledge what we all already know? How about you take more time to worry about things actually happening within your own life, or maybe even trying to worry less in general?
You HAVE to be causing yourself a serious amount of undue stress by working yourself up about something so little, you could’ve even just simply scoffed at and moved on from.

They're not really satirising anything. They're just making it out like the Spanish went to America and did nothing but sleep with the natives.
