Not sure what your point is, assuming the theory that Homo sapiens wiped out homo neanderthalensis it was before you could really argue there was such a thing as colonialism.

The point is the tribes invade each other throughout history. Humans are colonisers just like bacteria.

Most of us like to think we've grown ethically over time. Slaves were commonplace throughout history. Now we see that as unethical, societies improved.

Look at you, spiteful creature.

[–] BautAufWasEuchAufbaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really don't think you are in a position to call somebody a "spiteful creature" here

[–] BumbleBeeButt@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Really don't think you have any power over peoples positions.
