I'm sure we have some real bangers coming up that'll trounce this one, but it's at least the worst take of the month.
Look at this fucking barbarous savage.
If those pilgrims really "needed the land" they could have just arrived as immigrants to the indigenous country they landed in and integrated peacefully.
Instead they chose genocide and dispossession like the selfish primates they were.
Honestly this.
The genocide of the peoples of North America didn't happen just because they 'needed land' (they had plenty back home; they went to the Americas because capitalism); additionally there were native Americans who unfortunately tried to work with the colonizers and changed everything about themselves to be considered acceptable (they converted to Christianity, dressed like the colonizers, changed their names and even changed their homes; they also unfortunately aided in the killing of other tribes), but when all was said and done, the colonizers once comfortable, decided they wanted the land those people were living on as well and went on to kill them too.
Also 'go West young man, go West' isn't a slogan you use when you 'need land'. Additionally they 'needed lands' from the Canadians too; they got their butts kicked and sent home. How did the failure to capture those lands end up ravaging them because they couldn't meet their need for land? It's almost like the colonizing murderers didn't need the land so much as they just wanted it, and wanted it to grow their wealth. Also anyone seriously using the excuse 'they weren't really using it' (to not only justify land theft, but to gloss over genocide) should catch a bat with his teeth.
