Happens every Thanksgiving, doesnât? Some bleeding heart liberal youâre ârelated toâ gets on their moral high Crazy Horse and lectures about how horribly rotten the white man was to the Native Americans. Which is why this year weâre throwing in the tomahawk. Time to scalp the facts about the Indians. Feathers not dots.
TRIGGER WARNING: offensive video at link.
Transcript (without the sketch-cutaways or jokes) Itâs Thanksgiving! You know what that means. As you try and enjoy your downtime with your family, youâll undoubtedly find a social justice warrior around your Thanksgiving table trying to force-feed you white guilt. Afterall, your ancestors commited genocide against the Indians. Sorry native Americans. Indigenous? Letâs just go with redskins.
Only one problem, most of it pure, unadulterated buffalo-feces.
Alright to preface this, yes, some of the settlers committed some heinous crimes that were inexcusable, and Iâve benefited from the privelege thereof, yada yada yada⦠but sooooome of the propoganda out there needs to be called out. Civilizations clash, thatâs happened since the beginning of time. War sucks, but that doesnât give teachers, leftists and social justice warriors the right to LIE about non-existent peaceful Native Americans who rode horses, never experienced war, painted with colors of the wind and were taken out by smallbox blankets. So before you dumbasses hang that dreamcatcher from your rearview mirror, hold your mouth because this tin can Iâm about to kick just might hit you in the teeth. Letâs debunk some common PC thanksgiving myths.
MYTH: THE NATIVE AMERICANS WERE A PEACEFUL CULTURE TO WHOM THE CONCEPT OF WAR WAS FOREIGN
FACT: MANY WERE BRUTAL, CONQUERING ***HOLES
Native Americans warred with each other since, forever. Sometimes it was over hunting or farming grounds, sometimes revenge, sometimes to steal, sometimes to kill. I donât say this to demonize them, they were no different than any other regressive, Neolithic cultures on other continents.
But the truth is that the only way settlers were able to conquer this land was through the help of Native Americans who teamed up with them to settle the score with the other, more assholish tribes. You think Cortes was able to conquer with only 500 Conquisadors. Course not, it took 50,000 ANGRY allied Native Americans whoâd had it up to here with being enslaved and forced to carry gold for the other, Native Aztecs.
Some of of the Indian tribes were the most brutal in existence.
They practiced enslavement, rape, cannibalism, would sometimes target women and children, tribes like the Commanchees would butcher babies and roast people alive⦠and by the way, where do you think we LEARNED scalping?
MYTH: NATIVE AMERICANS WERE AN ADVANCED SOCIETY
TRUTH: NOT EVEN CLOSE
Smell that? Itâs your sacred cow being torched. After I scalped her, of course. Unlike Rome, Greece, China, or pretty much any great empire which had already existed at that time, the Native Americans didnât have advanced plumbing, transportation, mathematics or really⦠anything that led to the iphone on which youâre currently watching this. That whole beautiful âhorseback Indianâ culture you read about? Itâs a lie because they hadnât even domesticated horses. Not only that, but they didnât even use the WHEEL. No really. 1400 AD⦠no wheel.
Even more reason that, when youâre that far behind, the clash of civilizations is going to be THAT much more drastic when the new wheel-using world catches up to you.
MYTH: THE SETTLERS DELIBERATELY INFECTED NATIVES WITH SMALLPOX BLANKETS TO WHIPE THEM OUT
TRUTH: ONLY IDIOTS COULD POSSIBLY BELIEVE THIS
Think about it. You really believe Europeans waged microbial, biological warfare⦠long before discovery, mass acceptance or even close to an understanding of advanced germ theory?
So itâs not true. You can look forever for historical accounts of mass smallpox blankets being pajamagrammed to the peaceful Indians, but you wonât find them. But there is SOME truth to the myth, which brings us to our final point.
MYTH: EUROPEANS COMMITTED MASS GENOCIDE. KILLING EVERY NATIVE AMERICAN FOR SPORT
TRUTH: NOT EVEN CLOSE
However, it is estimated that at high as 95% of pre-Columbian Native Americans were in fact killed off by disease, WHY? Because Europeans introduced new diseases to which the Native Americans hadnât developed an immunity not only with THEMSELVES but now contact with animals like again HORSES which Native Americans hadnât domesticated. Again, because they were such an archaic, unadvanced society.
Sure there were plenty of bloody, horrendous, unimaginable battles that occurred, and generally when it comes to neoloithic tribes and more advances settlers, the guys with the boom-boom sticks win. This isnât exclusive to America or all that uncommon.
But Europeans were not hellbent on wiping out Native Americans, they were actually encouraged to bring the people into European culture and convert them to Christianity. Plus, inter-marrying was incredibly common. How else do you explain Johnny Depp, Angalina Jolie, Kid Cudi and even imaginary Elizabeth Warren claiming to be 1/16th Cherokee?
Killing people is bad. But so is milking, misleading and guilting all future generations for crimes they didnât commit. Yep, Europeans conquered the Native Americans, created a Constitutional Republic, and advanced in mere centuries what Natives couldnât do for thousands of years here on the plot of land that is America. So close this smartphone window, go enjoy your turkey and tell your social justice warrior cousin at the table to shut that mustached, single-origin-coffee drinking-hole. Or just⦠hand him a smallpox napkin.

Actually, there weren’t any horses, domesticated or otherwise, in the Americas in 1492.
okay...
However, it is estimated that at high as 95% of pre-Columbian Native Americans were in fact killed off by disease, WHY? Because Europeans introduced new diseases to which the Native Americans hadnââ¬â¢t developed an immunity....
So germs are a two way street,,,why didn’t Europeans die from Indian germs in large numbers? Am I missing something? 95% seems inordinately high....
A few more.

You'll hafta forgive humblegunner...apparently he has something against blogs, and will ALWAYS be the first to call out blog pimps. Funny for an info sharing site, I know, but it takes all kinds...
North American natives, I.e. Indians, had not developed metallurgy. Not unlike Australian aborigines. A Stone Age society.
King Phillips War, which took place later in the century, was as much about inland tribes moving in to claim land from the seriously weakened coastal tribes as it was about driving out whites. It was a very nasty war, by the way, with unspeakable atrocities committed by all sides.
Origin is believed to be from European fisherman who had spent part of a summer camping along the shore and drying their catch for preservation on the voyage back to Europe.
As for the two way street theory on diseases, remember that Europeans had lived through many of the same diseases just a few centuries before and those which survived had developed immunities.
bttt
Europeans had been exposed to the plague, smallpox, anthrax, etc. that spread rather easily in places where large numbers of people live close together and where domestic animals are raised. Indian tribes probably did not interact with each other that much to spread diseases. The plague was spread by fleas, and I’m not sure if the new world had much of a problem with fleas until the white man showed up.

Come back to WP Engine! ;-)
Here in Texas when someone gets totally wild and crazy when they drink we call it “bringing out the Indian in ‘em”.
Another good one, Steve. Thanks for sharing it.

I thought the French called for scalps so they knew how much to compensate their indian allies for kills.
Awesome video but Louis Pateur came up with germs causing disease in 1860 ish
