TranscriptA threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

"Straight up humane?" Dude in the 1800s there were times when people shot natives from passing trains for amusement. It's not a contest about who did it more nicely.

All I'm saying is that human history is full of far worse genocides than the Americans pulled on Native Americans.
