Indians would have been wise to kill the white man at first glance to preserve their way of life. Instead, they tried to make piece with the newcomers and it incrementally ended in their demise.
Yeah, like they had a lot of freedom when Batista and US organized crime ran the country. Just as brutal as Castro. American corporations fleeced the resources and left ordinary Cubans impoverished. Castro simply nationalized those industries. The people of Cuba traded landlords, that's all. The US embargo is responsible for 75% of the oppression Cubans live with today. And the embargo is because Castro nationalized industry and resources that American corporations stole from Spanish owners after the SA War. America didn't like him stealing their stolen goods ... so ordinary Cubans suffer ... for fifty years.
A classic and oft repeated case of looking at history through rose coloured glasses. Pre-Columbian Native Americans couldn't keep the peace among themselves, so what makes you think they would approach newcomers peacefully? We are in the middle of a similar epidemic of deliberate historical misinterpretation up here right now with the Indian residential schools backlash. Hip-shooting history with no factual ammunition. Sickening.
If you search hard enough, you can always find a narrative that fits with your personal philosophies.
If you do any research at all ... you might get some answers. Or you can just make up reality to fit your agenda. The deplorable situation in Cuba before the revolution was and is common knowledge. It's why the CIA gave overt support to Castro.
I think that it was actually that kind of thinking that really got those folks nearly eradicated. A few Native peoples thought that they had a choice and took positive action to make them feel like they made a difference. Those individuals cashed the check for all the other Native People. I think that the American Fur Company lost an average of 10 men per month to violent deaths and lost something like $80k a year in pelts to Native actions. Of course there is a significant and important Native side of this story, but there is no way they could have thought that the AFC would allow that to stand. Certainly not the settlers who brought their families. Nonnative men didn’t nessasarraly care if the Native peoples existed, in fact I trully think that they kind of liked knowing that they did exist. They really only cared that some of them negatively impacted their lives and investments.
Just a bit better informed. Actually, a lot better informed. PhD in history. I'm always glad to help those who are intellectually disadvantaged. It's the teacher in me.

you’ve mentioned this before. I think I’ve also read about 22 times that you’re a multimillionaire.

How about this? Fact or conspiracy theory rolling around in @Ontario Hunter head?
For the record, (if you were refering to me as the possible others), I know that you wouldn’t really threaten to scalp people or burn down their domiciles - at least on a public forum

i wasn’t. I assume (possibly incorrectly) that for every person that comments in a place like this, 5 read it and don’t comment. Possible others would be them.
Ok definitely a little different than buying ipo’s I never really followed this guy’s history. He still did what anyone of us can do. He met the income limit and funded a Roth with shares in a company he co founded. Anyone that’s meets the income limit can fund a Roth and anyone can start a company. He wasn’t given pay pal he was part of creating it. I’m not technologically smart enough to do an internet start up but I’m not pissed off because he is. That’s my only point. We all have the rights to create massive wealth we just don’t all have the ability. I’m good I don’t need 5 billion -around 20 million or so would be nice though
