  • I mean yes, but they were systemicatically murdered in a genocide, and forcibly removed from their land.

    Anybody who survived that period was forced to integrate with American society or face systemic persecution and often death.

    Hell, we went to war with a number of tribes bcz we wanted their land and resources. The point isn’t that Native Americans don’t exist today.

    Its that their culture was systematically destroyed and their homelands burned to the ground or taken over.



  • Please point me to all of these supposed immigrant gangs. I’d love to read about it. All of the research data that I’ve seen points to immigrants committing violent crimes at a far lower rate than actual citizens of the U.S.

    If you don’t have actual data to back up your claims, you’re just spouting misinformation at best, or intentional disinformation at worst.

    Cartels are a different problem entirely. Those are drug gangs from other countries. So, in don’t even know why you’re bringing that up in the context of immigration.



  • I mean, anybody can comment. I remember back when I regularly used reddit seeing wildy incorrect statements on the science community, and then when I would occasionally correct people on the stuff I actually am an expert on, I’d get downvoted for it, while the original post continued to get upvoted.

    People often assume upvotes means they’re right. And humans naturally seek social approval and acceptance, so it’s not that surprising.

    All I’m saying is don’t take it personal. It’s unfortunate to see stuff like that. But you can’t really stop it, and the alternative is censoring them, which I’m not a fan of either bcz they didn’t do anything egregious or try to spread misinformation.
