50 Historical Facts That Have Completely Ruined The Way These People See The World

It’s a sad story that’s happened to so many peoples through out the world. The Americans were invaded and colonized by groups of larger and more technologically advanced forces. The Native American groups that lived there were far from united and organized and stood little chance of resisting. Their numbers dwindled and weakened by the introduction of novel diseases. Battles with the Europeans settlers and among themselves further diminished their military capabilities. It’s a tale repeated throughout human history and arguably not the worst. The dead might argue if they could. The Roman Empire invaded many other kingdoms and was technologically superior to nearly all they came upon. Killed, enslaved, and erased so many. Like the Vikings, Nazis, Belgian Congo, and the British, Ottoman, Japanese, Timurid, Assyrian empires and many more. For outright brutality though it’s hard to overlook the Mongolian Empire. Look up Merv. No treaties and one was intentionally left alive and allowed to escape.

Especially if the looser don't even have writing... In that case their will always be one version. Same thing for Africa and mesoamerica. We don't know much about these people before because they didn't wrote, or if they did we didn't find it yet.

Hear, hear, Maggz. Same is true in the US. There's some dark magic happening but the majority of us are not in league with those pulling the levers.

USA is chuck full of Nazi sympathizers in government, schools banning words like gay, trans people are being excluded in any rights given to any American... That follows what the ultra right want.. our high courts are packed with people who think less of women and minorities.. our country has fallen into a.dung beetle infested s**t pile

Cautionary tale: The Nazis never had much more than 30% of the German population. It doesn't take much for a movement of lunatics to seize power.

Conservatives are an umbrella for hate driven, divisive, money grubbing, control freaks that want to dominate all the people and the entire world.

Nor do the Trump Thumpin' Bumpkins speak for Americans as a hole. But they're very loud about it.

There is a difference though between becoming isolationist "just let us do our own thing" and expansionist "you should all do our thing". I'm not saying Brexit was a good thing, but it's not on the scale of invading Poland.

So much this. My dad who lived through the blitz, cried when Brexit went through. Being joined as one meant peace, breaking from the EU meant it was happening again.

Ditto for the US

Nor do those right-wing conservatives represent the whole of America.

You’re confused. It’s the liberal communist (formerly known as the democrat party) that align more with those types of ideologies. 👍

Did someone see 'Er ist wieder da'? The idea only how easily people can be fooled again is really scary.

They no longer teach about the Holocaust in school, and WWII is barely mentioned. Civics and voting responsibility are no longer taught. They WANT us to forget.

The conservatives do not represent the whole of the American people, either.

I am right there with you in the US. It is terrifying

But frankly, nor does Labour/Lib Debs/Green. If only ANY of them would use common sense.

If the British response to immigrants was anything like the Nazi response to Jews , gays, gypsys etc they would be rounded up and executed. Get some perspective.

FFS, what bollocks. “Very similar ideology” indeed! Have you read the EHRC report into antisemitism in UK Labour? The findings of unlawful discrimination and harassment?

What you just did to conservatives is exactly what Hitler did to communists. Read Hitler's platform. It reads horrifyingly like Bernie Sanders'. Except Bernie Sanders didn't want to murder tens of millions of people. Neither do people who want to reduce unlawful immigration.

that is complete and utter codswallop - to even suggest that sending ILLEGAL immigrants back to a place where they can live is even remotely on the same lines as what happened in the holocaust is ridiculous - give your head a wobble - you live in la la land dont you? Taxes are going up because of the millions of £s we have to pay to house the ILLEGAL immigrants - or maybe you think the money for them comes in little unicorn poos in the sky? Wow you need to wake up

You seem to have overlooked the fact that being antisemitic is a LEFT wing trait, not a right wing one. Nazi was an abbreviation of National Socialist...and the Labour leader before last had a bit of an issue with his members and himself and the Jewish community. Italy was actually fascist, not Germany.

no, the British need to take back UK

It's exactly what the barstard Tory's are doing now. With the plan to deport refugees, not to their originating country (which is disgusting enough) but to camps in Rwanda. See first comes the plan, then the camps, we know what comes after that.

Wiesel's "Night" is powerful and very, very disturbing. Be warned: after reading his story, there WILL be things that will stay with you. For better or worse.

Well articulated, Alecto. 🤗

You should read the tattooist of Auschwitz. It's an incredible book. I cried so much from anger, but also joy.

The 2nd sentence of your statement is why I stopped participating in that Holocaust memorial culture. That was in 1995, I live close to a former concentration camp. People went there praying that it never repeats itself, while it just did repeat itself at that very moment in a country not far away. Shortly after it did repeat itself in another country. And you know what: people didn't give a dime. It didn't matter to them at all as long as they could go to the memorial and pretend to be in horror. Then it dawned upon me: people life in the past so they don't have to face the present. Yes you need to learn about the holocaust, but you need to understand that this was not a once off in history and you have to apply it in present. And when you look at many comments here you'll see the red flags that lead to it... people don't like to be reminded of it, that's why they downvote the voices of reason here.

Where the neighborhood church is the Neighborhood Church.

Where can I sign up

In Rog we trust.

If only everyone could believe in the golden rule

There will be no peace until the last politician is strangled with the entrails of the last priest!

Yes! This is a religion I would get in on.

Put me on the sign up list!

I fully support this idea and love the idea of a church built around St. Mr. Rogers! Full disclosure - I'm also going to use the name you gave him :-)

That's a church I can support

Absolutely
