    2025−1519: 506 years to say oopsie?

    Fuck the Catholic Church for never formally apologizing even after it was requested in 2020 (Two Popes have said it was a tragedy, but never took any official blame) and fuck Spain for ignoring several decades of Mexican Political requests to reconcile their shitty neocolonialist views.

      And meanwhile, we in Britain are still waiting for the Germans and Danes to apologize for the invasion by the Angles, Saxons and Jutes in the 9th century.

    Howard Zinn’s People’s History starts by describing the early years after the colonizers appearance. It’s a tough read.
