If you're in the Silicon Valley you sit on the land of one of one of the most brutal genocides that's ever occurred. Let's not act like Catholic and Christian missionaries haven't committed some of the largest genocides we have records of.

Besides these debates about religion are an obvious distraction when we know EXACTLY why this is happening. The previous governor was propped up by international players because they allowed them to exploit the countries gold reserves. They are the 3rd largest producers of gold but the poorest country in Africa because none of the resources being extracted from Sudan is going back to the Sudanese people. The UAE (which is funded by the US) is currently the largest player but even Russia was funding the RSF until early 2024 (Russia has since switched sides).



Looking into the past everyone looks like a barbarian. And yes, the use of the word was meant as sarcasm.


Not so. There are plenty of cultures that don't follow this. Off the top of my head I can think of the Sami people for whom we have zero archeological evidence of wars. They are not unique either. It just so happens that the barbaric cultures spread more rapidly than the peaceful ones
