I like that the official court response can be summed up as "are you high? get the fuck out of my courtroom"
Yeah :lol: . Next we should try sueing the porn industry for calling anal sex, Greek style. Greek style sex is only when you break plates on your lover's head while doing it doggy style and yelling OPA

I would agree normally, but usually find Medved's stuff to be better supported/argued than the usual riff raff.

Might just be semantics and not worth debating whether it's genocide or not and just agree that it was terrible.

I think his basic point is that the American expansionism was less Hitler and more "we're going to take this land, and if you don't get out of the way we won't be held responsible". Did the settlers fuck up the native peoples? Of course. Was it willful and systematic extermination? Not really.

No no no. That is "Stamos Sex" and can only be performed while wearing a leather fringed jacket.

Google helped me find out that guy's an actor of Greek decent, but I don't understand why the leather fringed jacket joins the mix.

That's ignoring stuff that was very intentional cultural and human extermination like Dawes Severalty Act, Wounded Knee, hateful response to loss at Little Bighorn, propaganda of the era, etc.

Less Hitler, yes. But genocide is genocide. There's not a manslaughter version that says "well, we just kinda accidentally eradicated them". Although it is kinda funny you mention Hitler and taking land, as that is how he started as well.
