  • There is no gray area in whether anyone approves of the American genocide of Native Americans in order to make room for their colonial expansion.

    There is gray area in whether anyone approves of the genocide of Australia’s, or Canada’s, indigenous peoples in order to make room for their colonial expansion.

    These actions were fundamentally, morally wrong. The wholesale theft of Palestinian land is fundamentally, morally wrong. Your attempt to denigrate this Holocaust as an issue of rooting between teams is an indelible stain on your soul.

    I hope that one day even you can recognize that the wholesale slaughter of a people and its culture is not the same as a team sport.

    Factorial means n! = (n)(n-1)(n-2)… etc. down to 1, where n is a positive integer. It’s used to calculate the different number of configurations of a set of elements, mainly in combinatorics.

    Like if you have four different objects and you want to know how many different configurations you can order them in, you have four choices for the first object, then three for the second, then two for the third, then one for the final slot. So the answer is 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 = 4!.
