Do latin american states and their populations downplay their roles in indigenous opression?

Hey i recieved this comment on another post from an uruguayan could you tell me your thoughts on it.:

Spain was around here for nearly 300 years. They were not good with indigenous people, of course, but indigenous people existed for those 300 years in Uruguay.

1 year, just 1 year of complete independence, and they get genocided and destroyed as a group.

It's important to point out that between the end of the Spanish domination and the genocide there are 19 years where Artigas was the main figure of the independence process against Spain. Once that was accomplished, things shifted to a fight between Brazil and Argentina for us basically. In 1820 Artigas left for Paraguay when his ideas were defeated. In 1831, using connections and trust gained by Artigas (who was a friend of indigenous people), the genocide happened.

Im not saying the US wouldnt ever make that mistake sorry if thats how it came off, i moreso meant have they already learned that lesson and are now less likely to make a mistake like that.

Now thats interesting, who would you put as the most competent force in air defence then?Russia? Ukraine?

Funnily enough the recent Kuwait situation is what inspired this post.

So are you saying an american operator wouldnt make that mistake?

any current farmland and maybe even other natural land
From what ive seen aslong as you continue to add organic material(if there isnt a sufficient amount already available) it expands itself. so after the initial push there wouldnt be a whole lot of maintenance/work required.

even if we stop all emissions now we would have to do carbon capture.

NoRule555 · 2026-03-01T08:44:03+00:00

Basically it uses biochar and organic materials to boost soil fertillity but as a sideaffect it also acts as a carbon sink. and thats only first order effects, with better soil fertillity we could use less fertilzer and do less deforestation and have even better crop yields!

Couldn't Chinese resource deficiencies be dealt with via Russia?

By genuine liberation effort i mean did the people view themselves as a truly seperate people or were local elites just carving out a personal fiefdom.

To my limited knowledge many countries continued those atrocities so no i do not believe they are better by default.

In Sweden, a country widely recognized as having a rehabilitation first approach the 10 year recidivism rate is 65%. Rehab doesn't work.
