He initiated the near extermination of a continent's indigenous people and only gets a positive mention in history because he hid behind the name of God.

I'm gonna say he was pretty cool.

He was a brutal tyrant who used the Crowns authority and lack of oversight (due to the distance involved) to maintain power and increase his fortune. He was also an idiot, because he was caught and ruined his family.

You're joking, right?

Explorers like Columbus are credited with bridging the divide between peoples or lands that weren't previously known to each other. Practically speaking, it doesn't even matter if it was accomplished by accident, which Columbus more or less did, because the fact is the so-called Old and New Worlds became permanently open to one another, due to his "discovery."

You can think of him of the first person to figure out how to travel back and forth between the New World and Old World. There were people here, but they didn't know about the existence of the Old World. Columbus is the one who opened up travel between the two for the first time since the land bridge across the Bering Strait disappeared (and that was only on-foot travel, lol).

The Italians in my town all take pride in him and I don't really get it. Him being a bad dude aside, Italians didn't fund him. If anyone should take pride, it should be the Spanish. You don't get to take credit when your boy does something if you didn't support him.

He was a risk taker who changed the course of human history. He may have done some bad things that I don't approve of, but the world was young and what was done cannot be undone. His risky journey changed the world and gave rise to new discoveries, new countries, and the timeline that we are in today.

If Columbus did do what he did, there's a good chance many of us would not exist today.

The world was not young in terms of either geographic or human history

A shitty man in his own time that did nothing to benefit future America, yet holds an honor that only Presidents and MLK have otherwise. And is defended by people just because they always remember him having a day and they refuse to accept they learned fake news in school and are terrified of change.

He stumbled into a place he wasn't looking for, killed its indigenous people, and was generally despised by everyone who knew him. What a hero.

In terms of globalization, maybe?

His legend is based on lies by an author, he was rapist, killer and incompetent buffoon who died with no regrets and alone and unknown among his people besides being a source of annoyance and mockery.
