One time in school I did a report and looked into how many of them died and I think the highest estimate was around 60 million indigenous people died as a result of European contact.

It was mostly from disease though. It’s nice knowing that technology has reached the point where a disease can’t wipe out a continent ever again.Anonymous B quadruple-posted this 3 hours ago, 6 minutes later, 50 minutes after the original post[^] [v] #1,444,125
It’s kinda funny how we were digging mass graves 6 years ago. With defunding epidemiology and foreign aid from developing countries, absolutely no way a disease with a higher death rate could ever occur and absolutely no way that disease could ever spread to developed countries and kill a bunch of first world people. No way that could ever happen, not in a million years. Were indivisible because we’re rich!
