I was watching “Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back (Official Music Video)”, and one line is “A lot of simps won’t like this song”, and I didn’t know that the word was so old!

What pisses me off is that most people don’t realize that 90% of the natives of both of the Americas were dead from the smallpox that the Spaniards brought there before the Puritans landed at Plymouth Rock. There was a large native civilization on the Mississippi before then that traded with the Maya and Aztecs.
When you read about all the battles with ancient Greeks and Romans and Persians, there were reports of tens of thousands of combatants. In the battles in the North American West with the natives, there were rarely more than hundreds. I think think Custer’s Last Stand had the most, less than 2,000 natives.
I was specifically referring to the smallpox, actually. Native Americans did not have viral infections, so they did not know how to fight it. I believe the Azteks came up with antibiotics at this point already, as bacterial disease was common.
Also the Trail of Tears, but that was later.
Uhh, citation needed lol. Certainly they did not have smallpox, but do you really think virii didn’t exist in the Americas?
No, but viral infections spread most effectively from human to human, and Native Americans (with some exceptions) did not form large cities.
Stuff like STDs probably existed, for instance, and those are viral infections for the most part, but STDs do not spread nearly as well as something like smallpox does.
The big difference here is that smallpox can be transmitted through airbourne droplets from coughing or sneezing, or through physical contact. I am not saying it was intentional by the Europeans (I couldn’t find much evidence for the smallpox blankets existing), but it was very effective in eradicating the Native American population.
Everything you wrote is nonsense at best, and conspiracy level rewriting of history at worst.
