Sorry I had to steal almost the whole thing, but the stupid is just prodigious.
A discussion thread that I was somehow added to (because most of them have no idea who I really am) revolved around putting four new faces on Mt. Rushmore, because the current ones do not reflect this country’s diversity. My suggestion that we add Andrew Jackson was not well received and sparked a side discussion when it was stated that all of America needs to be stripped of all memorials to our Founding Fathers and and military hero since the Founders were all about white male supremacy and honoring anyone for killing others is wrong. I chimed back in and pointed out that but for our nation’s founders and the military men that came with and after them, no one on this discussion list would even be here today.
“Oh yes we would,” replied one of them. ” We’d just all have been Native Americans and we’d be living in harmony with each other and nature.”
The face palm heard round the world indeed. And laugh if you will, but her vote counts as much as yours of mine does every election.

The Crow Creek Massacre site: mass grave in the Dakota’s featuring an entire village’s population excepting a suspicious lack of young females. Most of the bodies have signs of violent death (some wounds don’t mark bones, so likely all died violently), and most show signs of having been left unburied for some time before being buried in their mass grave. Some of the skulls show marks consistent with having been scalped, before or immediately after death.
The site dates to the 1300s.
Cahokia: largest permanent settlement in North America. One burial is of half a dozen teenage females. Isotope testing of their teeth shows they grew up in different areas, none in the Cahokia area. Apparently ritually sacrificed sometime before 1200 AD.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
The “peace and harmony” B.S. is pure racism; pre-Columbian populations in the Americas were human, with all the good and bad that involves.
My favorite example of stupid is the COEXIST sticker which lists the death cult islam as the first character. Right off the bat we have the utterly intolerant and refuse to coexist religion listed. Did they not take comparative religions or are they that idealistic that islam can be reformed?
What I have learned about a SJW’s view of history in the Americas:
In the before time, in the long, long ago, there were peaceful
tribessocial divisions in a traditional society (consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a recognized leader) of Native Americans that inhabited North and South America. Food was abundant and so was clean, drinkable water.Womyn (sic) were equal to men in every way, shape, and form.Womyn were better than men. Trans people sat proudly on the council of elders and were revered for their progressiveness.Everyone lived in peace and harmony until the Founding Fathers (ie: Evil White Men) set up the United States. They introduced slavery to a world which had never experienced such evils. The American continents have pretty much been shit ever since and we should all be more like the peaceful and abundant continent of Africa and use a political system found in northern Europe where less evil white people live (because they know they are evil and repent all day to assuage their white guilt).
Did I miss anything?
Must have gone to school in the 90s. I remember that lie being taught with a straight face in my American History class. Fortunately I had been a homeschooler before that, so I had ample evidence to the contrary. Teacher said we didn’t have time to cover all the details, as the native American unit was only 2 days.
