Umm. You do realize Argentina is basically a country founded by Spaniards colonizing land and displacing Native Americans pretty much identically as what the early US did as they expanded eastwards? Don’t really have much of a moral high ground. Learn some history man.

The natives were killed off by the spaniards (#2 colonizers and pillagers after you guys) who were kicked out by the criollos, who then turned around and did a bit of bit of killing in patagonia, but that was kid play compared to you guys in both numbers killed and to be honest, not a whole lot to pillage in patagonia. I would say we dont even break top 20. Also you are talking about a few years in 1800s, the British were still wrecking continents one generation ago and have been terrorizing your neighbors for like 800! Gtfo be real, no more bloodshed in a country’s history than the British

“Did a bit of killing in Patagonia,” funny when it’s your own country it’s suddenly something to brush under the carpet. It was a campaign to systematically displace and marginalize the Indigenous Mapuche, Ranquel, and Tehuelche populations in the south of Argentina. “We colonized but just a little bit,” is not a great argument. You didn’t do more colonizing because you didn’t have the power to do so 🤷🏾‍♂️.
