Ideas don't cause shit any more than a particular bullet causes mass shootings. You're operating off an idealist perspective, where ideas are the animating force, and not just vessels for underlying social pressures.

Do you think if the ancient Egyptians somehow discovered a bible, they would have gotten on ships, sailed to the new world, and genocided the natives in 4000BC? That if Europe never got it, they would have said "guess we shouldn't colonize Africa, it would be wrong to aquire the resources our economy demands at the expense of the native peoples" and shrugged?

Or would Egypt have said "wtf is this lol" and Europe relied on the other justifications they used?
