These people still exist and they are still genocidal. We shared the continent for 200 years before we really started expanding. Our system was better than theirs and expanded naturally. Most of them joined our society. The folks who chose to live in the woods, not farm, do no manufacturing, somehow didn't compete with those who chose to pursue free enterprise, invent things, and who invested in themselves with property. Who would have thought? This second group of people included both Europeans and American Indians.

What is happening to us now is not nature. We have a welfare state and half of the country's politicos sees an advantage to replacing us. And in theory it is a guarantee that half would because anything would advantage either one party or the other. Isn't it bad that we have a system were half the people in the seat of power have an incentive to do the opposite of good on any issue?

The American Indians happened to be in a dark ages when we arrived (northern American Indians did have cities once). We saved them from a dark ages. A few chose to continue in it. The idea of property and invention are not distinctly European. Look at India and China in the same period. It's a mark of civilization. We brought that back to them when they had lost it.

This differs from what is happening to us now. We are not in a dark ages, and foreigners offer us no superior societal systems for us to be grafted into. They are moving here and replacing our system and culture not because their system is better, but because their system is worse.

The fact that property and manufacture are not distinctly Europeans really shows how we have gotten a bad wrap. For implementing the standard strategy of civilization on a continent without it we are considered evil. If the Chinese or any other civilization had moved to the Americas while it was in a dark ages, their civilization would have also been an eventually expansive system. "Oh, the Europeans brought their weird and evil idea of property. How disgustingly European," they say. Yeah, it's not a weird idea.
