Fun fact: 100% of countries have done fucked up shit.
I’m not pointing that out because I think that excuses any of the fucked up shit. It doesn’t.
I’m pointing it out because by the standards of “shut up if your country was ever genocidal”, only people from countries with very little power and influence are allowed to try to do or say anything to make the world a better place for those of us not in favor of genocide.
TL;DR: STFU with that ultra reductionist edgelord bullshit. You’re not helping and you’re not being clever.
Are you saying that indigenous people never warred with others/neighbors and wiped out other tribes? Never raped, never put their enemies into slavery or sold them to other indigenous, or never tortured those they were at war with?
Because, to me, it sounds like you’re making that case with your comment and that is a bullshit case to be made. Humans are historically awful.
Perspective, you are being very reductionist. Not that i disagree necessarily. Creating a country rarely came from lets all get together and sing happy songs, but there are vast differences among formation of countries, colonialism, and genocide.
I kind of find it funny all these countries with genocidal history getting on their high horse through a music competition, y’all a disaster.

You shouldn’t seek validation from others, even your mom.
