Ngl, I’ve seen the same argument on other social networks whenever the spanish conquest on México comes up and they add how mexican society wouldn’t be how it is today without the conquest and… Really? Do they think the state of things is worth of praise?
(this ignores the thousands of taihno who committed suicide, choosing death over servitude, and how much work Colombus’ men put into preventing others from choosing the same path)
Idk if you seen prageru, basically had a cartoon where Christopher Columbus said how “being slave was better than being dead”
