This comparison is nonsense.

He was very bad yes, it's just he was not unusually bad in either the expedition nor for the time.

Sure remove his statues over his legacy, but let's not act he was like Hitler of his time while at the same time white washing Spanish colonial empire.

The great questions of the 2020s:
- can something popular be wrong
- is it okay for me to have an unpopular opinion
- is it okay to try to convince someone of my opinion

The right-wing answers are yes to all three and the liberal and especially centrist answers are no to all three.

Messi is probably fan of Trump, but he is smart enough to not get himself involved.

While Ronaldo is a rapist, so...

The whole anti-Columbus thing is just a massive cover to hide the fact how fucking vile the Spanish colonial empire was.

But can't have that, otherwise Spain would need to face same pressures that UK and France over their colonialism.

Then again he was in jail for 2 weeks and got his job back, so the Crown wasn't that upset he cut the arms of some Spanish peasants.

You say that, but Columbus was the moderate in that entire expedition.

Colonists that went with him were super paranoid genocidal freaks and rapists.

The Crown punished Columbus because he punished Spanish colonists for killing natives.

Ending the forever wars kinda requires to meet with people who fought US troops in those forever wars.

Otherwise you'll only have, uh, forever wars.

Slight tangent, but I went to sleep before voting was over with full confidence that Harris will win.

My God did had a rude awakening.

It's even a non-starter for Russia, like this is just waste of everyone's time.
