/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

No white people discovered the Americas and shared it with other white people not humanity. I'm pretty sure the millions of indigenous people that lived here also counts as humanity and they didn't share it with any of the other people that are had already been visiting the Americas such as the Asian culture and hell even the Russian culture and the Nordic culture themselves had already been visiting the Americas far before Columbus and any of his idiotic people showed up here. 

And no you don't have to have any sort of racist belief to understand that these idiots were going through and doing everything that they were doing as far as taking the land saying that it's theirs and saying that they discovered it. You just have to have a slight understanding of exactly how history has played out.

Yes they did. They shared their discovery of the Americas with other Europeans, which shared it with Europe, Europe shared it with the Middle East, African and Asia, which comprises the vast majority of humanity.

the Asian culture and hell even the Russian culture and the Nordic culture themselves had already been visiting the Americas far before Columbus and any of his idiotic people showed up here

But the world didn't learn it from them. The majority of humanity learned it after colonial Europe discovered it, from Europeans sharing the knowledge.

taking the land saying that it's theirs and saying that they discovered it.

This was not the racism I was referencing now was it? Do you not understand or are you intentionally being dishonest?

The discovery of something can happen more than once as it's a relationship between the observer and the thing, not between the thing and every observer.

OMG. Someone here is coping hard. Give it up dude.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

You know what coping looks like? Dismissing arguments by labeling them as coping.
