on this day in… well, the late 15th century, C.E., near as any scholars can honestly agree anyway… a bright young fuckup by the name of Christopher Columbus (anglicized spelling, of course) was busy fucking over the First Peoples of the Americas.
he should have stayed home.
in fact, white people should not have been allowed to interact with the rest of the world until, say, the late 20th century, which some would say is still kind of pushing things.
there is nothing good about celebrating the guy who REdiscovered “America” (or rather, haphazardly stumbled onto it, half a millenia after the Vikings landed and miraculously avoided killing off entire populations) and then went on to, as an encore, completely destroy the lives of tens of thousands of people, enabling followers to do the same to hundreds of thousands more.
