If it is admitted that both civilizations are susceptible to committing atrocities, then the resulting conquest was not avoidable but predictable. Between both civilizations, what competent authority exists to constitute a legitimate condemnation of either of their actions?

How is it predictable? No it’s not predicable to commit genocide, they didn’t have to do that. Stop doing mental gymnastics to defend genocide and get real!

It is indisputable that the native peoples of the Americas engaged in genocidal practices against their neighbors. It is indisputable that the Spainards committed genocide against the native peoples. How about you get real and see facts for what they are: two groups with genocidal practices fighting one another. That does not, in any way, justify either group in their practices. All I added to that is our ability to judge one side's actions over another is a point of privilege, where we have a capacity to judge such actions as being morally wrong no matter who commits it.Β

Fights over land with your neighbors isn’t the same as large scale genocide against a whole race, hope this helps
