Ok but this is like… what most European powers did in North America? Like fire arms was one of the biggest commodities in the various trade networks that developed?

People are so eager to paint these groups as if they had no agency, were niave and helpless in the face of “superior technology”. The reality is that they routinely curb stomped colonial forces for hundreds of years. The europeans were bit players in the grand saga of North America, kept around as a useful supply of certain manufactured good. Isolated little trading outposts at the mercy of native confederacies and empires fighting their own struggles and conflicts that eclipsed the petty squabbles of the Europeans in North America. Spain was the only one with a meaningful presence, and they were getting their asses handed to them by the Nʉmʉnʉʉ and Diné for most of that time. The French and the British getting played off each other like chumps by the Haudenosaunee. For 400 years this was the state of things, only in the 1800s do we see this break down, and yet that is all we remember. That brief period is what is projected backwards, totally ignoring a fascinating and dynamic history.

Late Stage Capitalism

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
