ifinddelightinthegruesomeandgrim:
this is literally both sides of any political argument
This is literally how the average tumblr user’s mindset works
One of these sides was pretty objectively right though.
Don’t you love it when a group of people violently repelling confirmed murderers from their community and the group of confirmed murderers (who expressly in the narrative came to steal resources) are portrayed as ‘equally bad and wrong’?

Also can we just pay attention to the part where “they are evil” and “they can’t be trusted” are IN NO WAY the same thing? The English are saying “they’re not like us, so we already know everything we need to know about them and can proceed with their destruction” and the Native Americans are saying “they’re not like us, so we need to stay alert and pay attention because they might not have the same cultural assumptions that we do.” HOW is this equivalent AT ALL?
