Fun fact, the British Empire only sent criminals to Australia because the American Revolution stopped them from sending them to North American colonies.

    To be fair that is pretty much every country when you look back in history. Not trying to let the UK off the hook here though.

    Don't forget the people who went there because their home country didn't allow them to religiously persecute others anymore.

    What the US did to the indigenous population was uniquely horrible. And while it may have echoes in other places throughout history, it was certainly not normal, average, or mundane.

    sobs in Tibetan, Balkan, Jewish, Slavic, Circassian, Tutsi, Finnish, Irish, Uyghur, and everyone who ever lived near the Mongols

    While it's a fucked up sort of comforting to think genocide is a single nation's "quirk", it's distressing depressingly common throughout history. It's happened constantly, and is ** LITERALLY happening now**, in Gaza, Xinjiang, Sudan, Ukraine, and Myanmar.

    Unique? Gods I wish

    Those nations and cultures that are still here? You're comparing them to the 1,000 nations completely wiped from history that you can't even name? Gods, I wish you knew their cultures and histories 1/1000000000th as well as the Jews.

    I guess it's comforting to think that what happened was common.
