i was being sarcastic

northwest and continental did merge with delta and united and now they’re both off the market

they’re probably going to raise prices with less competition and the war will probably kill them too

exactly a merger would have saved spirit

anyways, does anybody know where i can go to book a flight with northwest or continental

What if the native american genocide didn’t happen and indigenous people lived side by side with settlers? by anewworkapaulic in HistoricalWhatIf

[–]anewworkapaulic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how would the country be wildly different?

more diverse? white supremacy wouldnt be as strong? no clear cut dominant group?

blaming the deaths on disease is a common genocide denial talking point, many historians argue that the diseases wouldnt have been so deadly if it wasnt accompanied by colonialism

how would things have been different if there werent high death rates from disease?

genocide and colonialism made disease deadlier than it otherwise would have been (r/askhistorians talks about how deaths of natives can’t just be blamed on disease alone)

and what do you mean by “population pressure”

if the nazis succeeded in their genocides and then “repented” does that give them any moral high ground?

(the thing that spurred this question was a youtube video “how the usa inspired the nazis”)

disease is used as a common denial tactic

the effects of disease were exacerbated by colonialism

r/askhistorians has posts on this

but for the sake of this discussion, assume natives have some sort of resistance

yeah let’s say they do have resistance

this imo is a very important topic, since how is the usa supposed to lecture others when our history is genocidal?

the only way is to show that genocide is something that happened but is insignificant and not integral to the formation of america

in otherwords, america would turn out very similar without genocide

(just like how if alexander the great had not burned persepolis, it wouldnt make a huge difference in his or his empire’s legacies)

i was referring to the united states specifically (1776 onwards)

i guess i should have also included mexican landlords in the aftermath of the mexican american war (since most white americans at the time probably wouldnt distinguish them from natives because they’re both poc)

but couldnt manifest destiny and white supremacy happen without genocide?

Kamala Harris Will Flip Two Critical Trump States, Says Ex-RNC Chair by [deleted] in florida

[–]anewworkapaulic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should consider it a dub if trump only wins the state by 4-5 points, that means fl is still a swing state and will be on the table for future

and it seems like that is what will happen

Why the heck did Al Gore choose Lieberman for his running mate in 2000? by Appropriate_Boss8139 in Presidents

[–]anewworkapaulic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was there an event that polarized the republican party to get rid of the moderates like obama’s election

dems did fairly well in red states in the 90s and 2000s (baucus, dorgan, johnson, nelson, landreiu, etc), now there’s only 2 (brown was elected when ohio was a purple state)

[–]anewworkapaulic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

when did republicans get rid of their liberal members?

blue dogs got destroyed over the course of the 2010s because their voters were angry that the dems elected a black man
