Does anyone here actually believe in "Native American Genocide"?

Date: December 26th, 2025 7:32 PM Author: Chrome exciting gas station I always considered this to be a LOW IQ characterization. Never seen any legit evidence other than by LOWER IQ scholars that population decline was caused by anything other than incidental disease exposure. At least for the most part. I'm sure there was some systematic killing as happens with any new population contact. But there is no evidence other than made up BS by LOW IQS that this was a primary cause. And the idea that it was a "genocide" borders on conspiracy theory. IMO it shouldn't be considered real historiography to say it was genocide. Should be treated similar to how "the great replacement" is treated by current media. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5814381&forum_id=2в#49541641) |

but it's crazy to say that disease was the only factor. there were literally the "indian wars" and a massive effort to kill all the buffalo, and forced relocation to shitty lands, etc. |

Date: December 26th, 2025 7:40 PM Author: Chrome exciting gas station There were some conquests and massacres. But it definitely wasn't the main cause of population decline. And estimates of pre-columbus population vary widely and are often greatly exaggerated by anti-european scholars. Some massacres are to be expected when a land becomes discovered and colonized. That's part of how conquest works. The idea it was a wide-spread intentional planned genocide is pure fantasy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5814381&forum_id=2в#49541650) |

The US could be doing more to treat native american interests with a bit more gravity today. Building infrastructure in the region would go a lot further for the health of the NA population than many of the current programs; they need more economic outlets, not just the corrosion of the dole |

In my book if you fight a series of wars in which you regularly kill noncombatants, destroy villages, and ship survivors to worse territory with inadequate food and look on as they die of mass outbreaks, with the result that their population crashes somewhere between 50-100%, you can’t salvage your project as non-genocidal by pointing out that you didn’t literally gun down every man, woman and child until no one could find a single Indian. Under a definition of genocide where the Indians did not experience one, no genocide has ever occurred. I see Jews, Armenians, Ukrainians, Irish, Palestinians and other such types much more regularly than real 100% Indians. |

Date: December 27th, 2025 11:07 AM Author: Chrome exciting gas station The idea that the primary cause of population decrease was disease is the traditional view…meaning not cranky by default. The scholars arguing for genocide that are taken seriously are arguing for “structural” extermination which is far too broad. Regardless the main point is that the people calling it genocide tend to be on the LOW IQ end of the spectrum. I could care less about “definitions”.

the whole debate about what qualifies as a genocide is pedantic imo. a lot of policies that intentionally or knowingly caused mass death of a disfavored ethnic group happened with native americans.
how many "true genocides" have there been where the policy was absolute and total erasure of an ethnic group? |

|
Date: December 27th, 2025 12:14 PM Author: Chrome exciting gas station Ummm...well I agree with you that absolute explicit extermination policies are rare, and that historical actors have often operated through indirect or structural means. That is a good reason to avoid overly narrow or naive intent standards. And I agree that arguing over definitions can be pedantic if abstracted away from structure. I'm not someone who likes to endlessly debate details and nuances of definitions either. But what you are implying here with your "policies that intentionally or knowingly caused" statement is basically that if a state enacts policies that foreseeably cause mass death to a disfavored ethnic group, then genocide is at least a *reasonable label* regardless of intent. That is a normative reframing not a descriptive one and the cost of that move is that everything becomes genocide adjacent and "genocide" can collapse into cases of "extreme oppression" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5814381&forum_id=2в#49542717) |
