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

no, ALL cultures are equal

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?

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

the greater good and everything else utilitarian is morally bankrupt btw. there's a reason there's six on those tracks in all those trolley problem questions. it's russian roulette, the one and the five, utilitarianism is just to play odds.

if anyone suffers, it's enough. if i have an equal pain in my hand, head and chest, do i feel three times that pain overall? no, and same thing if those pains are shared between people

there's just good and evil. there's no justification of genocide

like pretty much all of terry's threads are to fantasise about some superior dominant man

and which he isn't, so...

alright come on, i think saying that a culture deserved an almost-genocide is going too far

It's not that the US displaced them, it's that they hard little regard to their life. Look at what happened at Wounded Knee and tell me that was for the greater good

Be racist to them.

for example, had the US not displaced the native americans, half the US would be nowhere as advanced as it is today.

native americans wouldve lived primitively if it were not for the colonists who found the new world
