Hitler modeled his way of genociding Jews based on the native America genocide. And Hitler used the Jim Crow laws as example to model his race laws in Nazi germany. So there is no wrong order here, just a bunch of butt-hurt ignorant people. Israel is using the American example of genocide as well.
To be fair, this is looking more like late XVIII century man with advanced syphilis, but after looking some of late XV century portraits the point still somewhat stands anyway.
Btw yesterday I learned who designed the ubiquitous bic lighter: Louis Lucien Lepoix, a guy who pretty much shaped the aesthetic zeitgeist of the early cold war. The more you know…
While that happened, and vice versa, this info often tries to whitewash USAs war on indigenous people, and systematic genocide to irradicate the “savage natives” history.com/…/native-americans-genocide-united-st…
Both can be (and are) true, while the Europeans and later Americans did many things that would now be classified as genocide and ethnic cleansing, the majority of the native population simply died inadvertently of diseases. It’s actually unlikely that the Europeans would have been able to so thoroughly conquer the Americas if the native population would have survived the first wave of diseases.
This makes me think you did not read the full article and the timeline. Of course the indigenous people survived the first wave of diseases. The majority did not die out, This is why the colonizers were later fruatrated with the situation of trying to expand into more land. There are so many historic books about the systematic elimination of “Indians”. The diaease trope is what is taught in american school so we can feel detached from their ultimate demise. But if you don’t have time to search and read, just look at this wiki link on how many were genocided rather than the paltry few you think were left over from disease. …wikipedia.org/…/Genocide_of_Indigenous_peoples
Honestly if I hadn’t switched to Linux 10 years ago I would’ve said that this would be the thing to set me off and switch. (This was my work computer, and even though Ubuntu is available, Linux users are second-class citizens in my shop…all sorts of weird issues and not nearly enough support because it’s a very limited offering)
It’s incredibly frustrating. It’s more than muscle memory at this point, it’s practically instinct. It’s so anti-user and there’s no reason to do it except to bring paint into the fold of all the other ribbon office apps, as if people haven’t been complaining about everything wrong about ribbon for what, 8 years now?
For the past 8 years I have had to disable ‘mouse acceleration’ after every Windows update. The updates have become more frequent, and the setting to disable acceleration has slowly become buried deeper in the menus. Switched to Linux two days ago and I’m never looking back.
