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

Date: December 26th, 2025 7:32 PM Author: metaepistemology is trans 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=2most#49541641) |

Certainly there was ethnic cleansing tho |

Date: December 26th, 2025 7:40 PM Author: metaepistemology is trans 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=2most#49541650) |

It was an existential conflict that one side won and the other side lost. Entirely incoherent to think about in "moral" terms |

Date: December 26th, 2025 9:05 PM Author: hank_scorpio and history does not provide any evidence whatsoever of settlers killing more than a few dozen red men at any given time, I think the sand creek massacre was like less than 50 people and that's the worst one they can find (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5814381&forum_id=2most#49541763) |
