Why is mass colonization of the Americas a good thing that deserves praise? For one I exist and that's important Because you wouldve never been born in the country your ancestors came from? Im not sure "i was born in America" justifies what was done to the natives No, he never would've been born in the country (or countries) his ancestors came from. The chain of events, spanning hundreds of years, would have been so radically different that anyone who is currently alive in the United States would not likely be alive today had Europeans not successfully colonized North America and displaced the native popultion. We would have a radicallu diffrent world with a uniquely seperate group individual descendents. Unless there's some sci-fi timeline shenanigans where we could expect ourselves to exist more or less the same, except now we have a cockney accent or something. There's also no reason to think that "if Europeans didnt take over america i wouldnt exist" either. Its an entirely pointless hypothetical. No, there is entirely valid reason to think that. Reality doesn't follow sci-fi timeline nonsense. If his ancestors, on his mother's and father's sides, going back numerous generations, had not immigrated to the US when they did (or pre-revolutionary war colonies depending on the circumstances), none of the series of events would've occurred that would have necessarily had to occur to culminate in his existence. In the same way that if any number of events did not occur in history, we'd have a very different present. If his appreciation for Columbus is his influence on the colonization process had a positive impact on Tv's eventual existence, then it isn't really pointless for him because the European colonization of North America is an essential event for his existence. The same is the case for every American. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/Esrac <cite>Esrac posted [p:885217142] in Who pathed...
