Be careful with fire around all that straw.

You got enough straw there, buddy?

Well, Scalping DID start by white men, offering a bounty on indian scalps. But this historical fact relfects poorly on white settlers, so it’s been played down in history books.
Thus anyone knowing this fact is seen as making shit up to make white men teh villains…

This is what happens when an entire group of people - Hardline conservatives - are allowed to continue in their ignorance to believe they can sneer at fact checkers and at original source materials that disagree with anything they say: they can make up any bullshit they want and pass it off as truth, kind of like of like they have with the existence of this straw liberal, which has never existed anywhere in any form in any universe since the beginning of time.

*Achoo!* Oh, dear, all this straw is stirring up my allergies. *Achoo!* *Achoo!*

Seems Generalorder4 doesn't know what liberals actually believe and instead just makes strawmen. As none of those are beliefs real liberals hold.

All native Americans were peaceful and learned how to scalp people from Canadians.

NO ONE has ever claimed anything like this. There’s plenty of evidence that native Americans were willing to scalp each other during inter-tribe conflicts going back hundreds of years before European colonization. However, it is a FACT that natives scalping each other became much more common after the Europeans appeared in North America, and it’s entirely because the Europeans offered monetary rewards for the scalps of particular tribes they were having trouble dealing with.

@KeithInc. #127774

any sources to back up that claim? Native Americans have done awful things to each other long before Europeans arrived. Although the idea that Europeans engage its’ increase isn’t that far off given the fucked up things European groups have done when colonizing places anyway.

As I mentioned, we have evidence that scalping was something the Native Americans did do periodically. What the Europeans ARE responsible for is the massive uptick in scalping that occurred in the 1500’s, because they were willing to pay cash for Native American scalps.

yeah was going mention you earlier but decided not to

"It wasn't enough to say 'I'm not a liberal'. You also had to ignore history ('All native Americans were hateful savages and scalped peaceful white settlers. To say the Holocaust was awful is an understatement. Christianity was never warlike. The Crusades were wars of Christian self-defense only. Theocracy has caused the most wars in history. The credit for any innovation or invention throughout all of history belongs to some white man...') and you had to ignore logic.

I didn’t knew Liberalism included Holocaust denial.

The Holocaust wasn't so bad compared to war atrocities committed by The Allies.

Unless the Allies are hiding some seriously fucked up shit, no one but nazis and antisemites are calling the Holocaust "not so bad".
