The Tasmanian Genocide

By Leo Gura - August 27, 2026

This is how mankind was for most of human history:

Most people don’t understand what colonialism is because a colonial culture whitewashes and obfuscates its own ugly history. Since conservatives are blind defenders of culture, conservatives are not even educated about what colonialism is and how it works.

Here’s how colonialism works: We move into your land and start exploiting and abusing your people because we think we’re superior, God’s chosen people. You are outraged and have no choice but to fight back. We become outraged that you killed a few of our people. How dare you attack us, the civilized ones! We use this to smear your entire population as evil godless barbarians, leaving us no choice but to exterminate you in the name of civilization, otherwise our women and children would be in danger. Oh, and we just so happen to end up with all your land in the end. How fortune for us. But hey, you should not have been so evil. You should have let us rape you without squealing.

Self-bias actualized.

This is classic narcissistic gaslighting, but on a collective scale. All the evil stuff we do, you forced us to do to you by resisting. We didn’t do nothing. But even if we did, you deserved it. You brought this on yourself. Look what you made me do.

That’s the unconscious playbook. Classic, classic, classic. But also too ugly to ever admit to oneself.
