Yeah that’s funny because Catholic priests were some of the first to point out the explorers were treating the natives like poo poo They are like “we are trying to convert them but they keep working them to death?!?!?” Like it got the Jesuits kicked out of South America. Which the natives did not like

The Jesuits were dicks to me in Sid Meier’s Pirates. I know I should forgive them for that because it’s a fictional representation and, well, I was committing acts of piracy, but it’s tough.

Yeah reading about Kateri Tekakwitha was full of examples like this, missionaries deciding the only way to save the natives from their own compatriots was to destroy every vestige of non-Christian culture as fast as possible. Real direct link to "kidnap and brutalize them in residential schools" as a public policy.

grittyreboot posted:I never understood why mutants are treated as persecuted outcasts for their powers while Captain America or the Fantastic Four are celebrities Khizan posted:I've always put a a good bit of it down to mutants like Cyclops and Rogue, with powers that can and will hurt people accidentally. Just today, my nephew accidentally knocked my glasses off of my head with an errant swing of a nerf sword. Something similar happens to Cyclops and he could kill people. To add to this I could imagine that individual people who get their powers through science or some sort of freak accident don't trigger the same kind of existential fear as an entire species that is just flat-out superior. Like anyone could become Captain America or one of the Fantastic Four in theory. And they're just one-offs; their existence doesn't suggest that H. sapians is in danger of being replaced.

I love how terf inferiority and victim complexes has brought them back to being offended at girls wearing pants. 100 years ago feminists were fighting for the right to wear pants publicly without judgment and to be treated like equal human beings, and now these modern fucks don't even want to be called people. They've built an entire identity on being victimized, while reaping the benefits of those who actually fight for true equality. They're really fighting hard to win the Oppression Olympics when they're claiming "girls wearing pants is part of the Trans Agenda"

There was a grimly funny terf comic I saw a while back where they're depicting burly women with hairy legs as the bad guys, which is literally exactly how right wingers still draw feminists. It really is just garbage 1950's christian moral values poo poo but this time I'm actually the progressive one you see.

A man walks into a store and grabs a jug of milk. “I’ll pay three dollars for this.” “Sir, the price is six dollars.” “Best I can do is three.” “…” The man walks out without the milk. The next week, every journalist in the country describes the store as having a “milk shortage”.
