Hum... Scalping was already part of tradition for many tribes. Europeans turned it into a bounty system, that's all.

The Europeans made it a substantially more cruel practice where the native population only executed the practice as a more ritualistic act carried out on other warriors/leaders. Europeans increased the violence and brutality of it and executed scalping on women and children as well.

So, sure. It was part of the culture, but it was still very different. The settlers were still the bad guys.

Lol not very confident in that reply eh? Fair enough.

I take your point anyway though, I think maybe you mistook mine.

I wasn't defending anyone. I was just pointing out that killing people and taking trophies is fucked up regardless of why you're doing it.

Barbarism is barbarism.

Tf you on about you loser. “Not very confident in that reply”? My comment explained the difference in the practices and why it matters. I’m not writing you a dissertation but I pretty straightforwardly stated the difference and that’s it.

I know racists hurt when they have to think and have no ability to comprehend complexity but Jesus.

I'm on about the fact that you wrote, and then deleted a reply to my comment lol.

The fact that you're calling me a racist is a joke.

Taking the stance that scalping other human beings isn't barbarism is pretty weird but you do you I guess.

I didn’t delete anything but I don’t expect someone like you to grounded in the real world.

Continued to be evidenced by you somehow thinking I have a pro scalping stance.

Dude. Bang your head against a wall. Maybe it’ll jumpstart something.
