No, the most of the world throughout history didn't genocide their enemies, they conquered and absorbed them. Fricking moron.
if by everyone you mean white people sure
... until the white man lifted himself up and decided he should try with the other people too.
plebbit go back.
No, their wars were always extremely small in scale with the capture and assimilation of handfuls of people and few killings. Colonial politics brought total war and genocide.

Bullshit. With the exception of almost ALL but the Blackfeet and Crow did actual genocides.
Blackfeet, Crow, and maybe the other Algonquin speaking tribes (there are 4-5 iirc) practiced "counting coup" most of the time. That could be anything from stealing horses, guns, brides, to sneaking up on a warrior/chief and tapping them on the shoulder from behind.
They're problem is they're Pawnee and they're super pissed that Kevin Costner portrays them as aggressors against the Lakota when the reality was the complete opposite.
Because only a dumbass would blatantly make a campfire with that much smoke in hostile territory. Or make camp with zero visibility or cover (he was on the bottom of hills where he'd have no time to react and fight/escape).
Yeah the Native Americans were savage and warred against one another. They even genocided one another and take lands from tribes they eliminated.
This scene is something that's far closer to the truth than most people care to admit.
And Europeans were doing this for thousands of years to each other so yeah the indigenous peoples of North & South America were brutish but you could say the same to my ancestors in Britain, the Low Countries, France, and Germany. The natives didn't industrialize warfare like whites did in the 20th century.
This is the sort of egalitarian bullshit taught to euro children today to make them accept their own replacement. That the only difference between euros and native americans (or any other stone-age tribal) was simply a couple thousand years (undeserved) head start on the same civilizational timeline. When in reality, NAs left alone for another ten millennia would never have been on par with europeans because they are a fundamentally different race with inherently different capacities for civilization.
Yes, because they were too stupid too make saws and axes that's how they cleared land. Any old growth forest in the eastern US has only been growing since Europeans arrived.

Actually both of you morons are wrong
In the 19th century road-building was going strong using methods developed over the previous centuries. The way they used to do it was to lay a pile of logs lengthwise in a rough pyramid and burn it. Every mile of road was just a bed of burned tree ash. Alternatively if you had a sawmill you'd try and sort of make a raised roadway from planks, but these were problematic because nails and stakes wouldn't stay put (freeze and thaw cycles, moisture, rot). It wasn't until the early 20th century that road building techniques started using different materials.
Literally most of the old growth was cut and cleared and yes, some was just burned, but no, the natives' burning activities weren't even close to the industrial scale that came with settlement.

What the frick is wrong with them
imagine some african refugee making fire in your garden
Hardly an apt comparison
How's that the same as having a campfire in the middle of nowhere?
>nowhere
not same if that nowhere was troony,jew,black free
Before the White man came and stabilized things their history was one long train of genocide.
Damn, they had trains? What an enlightened people
that's everyone's history

Just straight up lying. Fun.
Don't get your history from Stonetoss, chud.

Having lived in "Indian country" my entire life, it's hilarious how downplayed the intra-indian genocidal violence is around here.
The choctaw and chickasaw still duke it out in the open pastures here.
You see, they pit their casinos and tobacco customers against each other in welfare warfare...
This, the "they were a peaceful people who didn't know war" like Neil Young songs is the prevailing propoganda.
They're morons. If you wanted to ambush a bunch of them all you'd have to do is light a smoky campfire somewhere you want to set up on them and wait.
I'm glad morons won't make past first week if ever nuclear apocalypse happens.
I don't know if taking advice from the race that got almost entirely genocided is a good survival tactic anon
yeah, well look how it turned out for them
a while ago, I read about native americans and their societies. I barely remember the content, but that I felt rather moved.

didn't corn Black folk used to burn down whole fricking forests on purpose

I just mailed in my AncestryDNA sample yesterday. I've been watching Injun kino hoping for at least 2% Indigenous-American. Pray for me, bros.
>father tells me all about our family's Irish heritage my whole life
>he takes a DNA test and finds out he's 80% English, 15% Scottish
Ignorance is bliss
happy for you
you know all these dna sites are fake right ?
>fake
shush anon, ignorance is bliss.

...ah...to be young and naive.
>takes your dna to the israelite database
ok
Anybody watched Blackrobe? There's some pretty fricked up native tribes out there you wouldn't want to run into.
That movie was so much BETTER when all the Indians were BLUE ALIEN-CATS!
