I’ve seen too much of this. No, the nazis and the Soviets were not equivalent.
Do. Better.
“Attempt” doesn’t even feel strong enough. We succeeded, far more so than the Nazis ever did. Not to “umm aktually” it is just something of a sobering thought I had when reading that
Yeah, the reason why I worded it like that is that the old trope of “the disappearing indian” still gets used these days to be like “well that was bad, but they’re all gone now, so whatcha gonna do???” As if there aren’t indigenous people still living here, and tribes that reparations could be made to. So I’m careful to not give the impression that I’m in agreement with that.
But you do have a valid point. The US put A LOT of effort to genociding as many Native Americans as they could, and sadly they were very successful in killing an astounding number of people.
