Take it however you like. You've put a lot of effort into complaining about other people having a good time at the expense of someone who, I guess, you consider to be a hero.

I don't know where you got that from. Don't even know the guy.

Mate your effort levels of shit posting here are unmatched. Kettle black an all that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don’t even know the guy.

Books are a thing, as are history books. I recommend the former and, since you're ignorant of who Christopher Columbus was, especially the latter.

He thought the world was smaller than it is and found the Americas.

I know who he is I just don't care. There are plenty of people in the history books but I don't give a shit about Columbus.

Even in terms of explorers he's a shit one. I'd rather read about someone else.

Interesting how you left out the fact that he was such a ruthless and horrific governor in the way he treated the natives (cutting off their hands if they did not produce enough gold, for example) that even the Spanish royals were disgusted and he was brought back in chains.

Maybe you're okay with cutting off the hands of non-white people. Is that it?

Or is it, as I suggested, that you don't actually read history?

This is the equivalent of describing Hitler as "a guy who helped the German economy."

Mate you got some serious, serious problems. And you need to take a step back and look at your life. You have an internet addition if nothing else. You obsess over arguments and have a superiority complex.

You need therapy.

I literally don't care about Columbus. The guys been dead for a million years. Why should I care about him, out of all the millions of people in the history books you seem to have a hardon for this guy. I don't. I don't care. Why him specifically? There are much much more interesting people out there that I just don't care about Columbus even slightly fuck him and fuck you.

The fuck you is justified because you said this to me

Maybe you're okay with cutting off the hands of non-white people. Is that it?

You want a reaction out of me so you can block me. If you are going to hide behind your mod powers because thats all you go, and going to make out people are racist because I don't care about one guy you want to get in an argument about. Then you're a cunt.

This is the equivalent of describing Hitler as "a guy who helped the German economy."

What's the comparison exactly? What did i (not you) say about Columbus that is equivalent to that?

You're full of shit.

Who, specifically, am I superior to? Because it isn't you or the other 8 billion people on this planet who are obviously better than me.

I literally don’t care about Columbus. The guys been dead for a million years.

Like I said, you really need to read a history book.

Why should I care about him

Because millions of indigenous people do and you are dismissing them and their pain.

out of all the millions of people in the history books you seem to have a hardon for this guy.

No, Monday was Columbus Day.

You want a reaction out of me so you can block me.

Lie.

If you are going to hide behind your mod powers

I'm not a mod in this community.

and going to make out people are racist because I don’t care about one guy

One genocidal guy who killed a bunch of indigenous people and was responsible for the deaths of entire cultures. Racist? No idea. Indifferent to the suffering of millions because they are unlike you? Yes.

and going to make out people are racist because I don’t care about one guy you want to get in an argument about.

It takes two to tango. You can stop replying whenever you like.

You’re full of shit.

See above, re: not replying whenever you like.

Of course, I could just not ban you with my lack of mod powers instead.
