Alternating between Mythic Quest, which is done by the It’s Always Sunny in Philly crew. It’s very good!
And The Terror S1. It’s also very good, and very dark.

As a mod on a few garden and science subs at that time, they were pernacious and ethically inept. They would associate anything anti-pesticide or GMO with being an anti science quack. And they would dog pile on poor individuals expressing concern.
I had several debates with them, often reported them for brigading, and ultimately had to ban them.
Understood.
I’m simply trying to highlight that what happened to the native Americans is not simply “an aside,” or a footnote in history but that it should take a sharp focus to what the US is or has been. This isn’t about competing special interest group atrocities, but a fundamental question that is at the core of representative democracy. Too often liberal democracy is simply another way to exploit others, and disallow “other” groups from participating.
From a native perspective, living on a reservation in the US currently, it wouldn’t matter much if it was run by republicans or democrats, as they both simply ignore treaties and obligations. From your perspective, it’s a dire existential crises, but to those who have been swept aside both in the past and the present, it doesn’t matter much at all.
I don’t know how you can separate the idea of colonialism from the formation of the US. Seems arbitrary and without any philosophical basis.
As it stands currently, black Americans have better standards of living, in almost all developmental indices, than native Americans. So by any scientific inquiry, native Americans have had it and still have it much harder than black Americans.
Not to be contrarian, but the original sin of the US is the genocide of the indigenous populations.
And it’s THE thing that few people want to confront.
That was a Jules Verne story!

We just rewatched Chernobyl the other night. One of the finest mini series ever done, and he is exceptional in it.
