remaking bc old thread can't be unlocked

greetings epicmafia community,

I think we need to have a discussion on cultures clashing.

The US has done some awfully terrible things to Native Americans.

eg. Trail of Tears and unfair allotment of land.

However, I think in the historical context, it was acceptable to do so. The rise of the US and many of its cities may have involved pushing away Native Americans, but it was for the greater, future good.

it is morally acceptable for unadvanced, regressive cultures to be replaced by other superior ones?

yes, some cultures should be destroyed

Andrew Jackson was the most honest politician. He said he'd do two things, kill the native americans and kill the banks.

I'm really bothered when people say all native american tribes should have been preserved

people do not realize that prior to arriving in the US, native americans were literally massacring and killing each other

it just so happened that one of the native american tribes that had helped the earliest settlers, wanted their help in fighting aggressive tribes

obviously, those tribes were easily defeated.

for the past thousands of years, bad culture and uncivilized nations have ALWAYS fallen. this attitude has to be stopped

So Terry, would you find it acceptable if Aliens with a higher level of technology colonized earth, destroying most of the populace and putting them in reserves?


well would these aliens ultimately benefit humanity and society in the future? would it contribute to culture?

your question immediately assumes these aliens would destroy everything, which clearly isn't something desirable for any humans

I seriously doubt Terry would be saying this if he was native or if U.S.A. went into the country his parents came from and did the same thing in 2016.


the US did come into my parents' native nation and they freed it from communism, advanced it into the technologically advanced nation, while also civilizing it into 21st century

the US also almost completely wiped out north korea.....

Like I think technology should be spread but it doesn't validate going on a massacre spree. Terry if you're basing this argument on greater technology allows for genocide, then you should be okay with U.S.A. going around and committing genocides in less established places, which is kinda f*cked imo.

his posts complement my posts pretty good tho, and mine's not a targeted response

if an argument is only applied to a certain person it is not an argument but a targeted response

And according to that logic, you're saying that it's acceptable for first world countries to go into third world countries, nearly eradicate them, and essentially take over? Also Terry, you said your parents were immigrants and we know that U.S.A. is likely more technologically advanced than wherever they came from. Would you find it acceptable if U.S.A. went to that country your parents came from, nearly killed off the entire population and established a 2nd U.S.A.?


yep

the dark knight is actually a pretty great movie on the failings of utilitarianism. it was the evil behind the joker and harvey dent when he goes two faced. i mean it's to breed a sort of insanity in that it strips away the sanctity of life
