DIS - New Eden

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

Reborn in other religions and thus, technically, still around, even though it's under a different name.
I know. Just ridiculous.
If only they could be as sensible as us huh?
I know. Do people even know how to democracy? At least pretend that you're trying.

I wouldn't say worse but I defy anyone who claims they were better.
At least the Tawantinsuyu didn't intentionally spread bioweapons to people they met.

We were using the Miasma theory of disease until the late 1800's. Under that theory, would make more sense to fart in the faces of the natives to infect them than give them "infected" blankets. Besides, the main infection vector of small pox is through the air not puss from sores.

They were smart enough to know "touch smallpox, get smallpox" & "smell fart, not die".

They were not idiots.

You're mixing a lot of stories here. The Spanish spread disease just by being there, even if their intentions had been 100% noble, the diseases they carried would have still wiped out most of the native population.

"The smallpox blankets" story has only one piece of evidence of it ever being used intentionally, and that was by British colonists in North America over 200 years later.

I'm pretty sure that Cortez used bioweaponry, too, but either way, the slavery, proto-concentration-camps, and forced migration certainly didn't help societies that already were at extreme risk of pandemic.

Point is: Tawantinsuyu nasty autocratic imperialist regime, Aztec triple alliance nasty "pay us or we kill you" tributary empire, Spanish objectively worse than either with bugfuck crazy racial caste system, mass slavery, and intentionally working large numbers of people to death. Himmler would've loved to watch and take notes.
