RE: Quick quote from someone here on steemit I agreed a lot with.

in #philosophy7 years ago

Did you even read the quote that you used? Here it is:

"This country is sick...for real for real...And the history of America is a sick, perverted, genocidal one, that "many" Americans don't want to address...cause they're fucking guilty of the benefits from the sick shit."

The quote specifically mentions"this country", and "America". So much for not trying to blame a piece of land.

Blaming people who were not even born for something that happened hundreds of years ago, and claiming some kind of collective guilt is delusional, and illegal. Defamation is a crime. No one alive is responsible for the charges you've laid. Go find a corpse and see what you can shake out of it. "The sins of the father" holds no weight in Law, and no one can be guilty of any actions but their own.

I hope you don't actually believe that the population of this country really killed 100 million innocents. It never happened. For instance, I have NEVER killed anyone, nor did I ever steal anyone's land. I object, categorically, to your use of the word "us" in your accusations. All of the people who were here are long dead, and some of them were my relatives. Their civilization failed. I had absolutely nothing to do with that failure, on either side, and I'm not interested in emulating a culture which failed in so spectacular a fashion.

In fact, as a living representative of both the Creek and Cherokee nations, I, hereby absolve all living Americans of the deaths that occurred in the course of global exploration, and colonization. The more successful culture achieved what tens of thousands of years of brute savagery could not, a decent standard of living. The Europeans who came here hundreds of years ago can no more be put on trial, than the failures of a backward culture with no sign of advancement, can be corrected.

There is no victim left from those days. If you want to correct wrongs in this world try helping the poor. Claiming victimization by the dead will help no one.
