Columbus was a Marrano Jew

Proof?

I celebrate Indigenous People's Day because I support the right of ALL indigenous peoples

I feel these two things are not related. First of all why replace Columbus day? Why not a separate day? The reason is it's a political woke agenda trying to constnatly erase and change history and substitute with something about the poor POC and their suffrage. Consider that it is a tactic coming from Marxism to divide and conquer people. Natives could easily be celebrated without needing to erase and change history, but then that wouldn't further the conflict between white Europeans and descendents of Natives.

Personally I think the truth is complicated always, and those were completely different times. Wars were normal and humans in general were desensitized to violence, including Natives, which had tons of wars of their own and practiced bloody rituals of all kinds.

POC and their suffrage.

Suffrage means right to vote. I agree with you, but I dont think you use this word correctly.

Suffrage means right to vote.

I admit I was thinking of overall suffering, however, this is was an interesting coincidence. Changing definitions of words is part of this woke/marxist strategy. This is why political conversations have been increasingly hard to have with people (over the past decade or so), because they have been changing definitions. The online dictionaries have updated their definition of "racism" for example, to have some mention of "systemic". This is all rooted in post-modernism and normies that have no idea what is going on get caught in the midst and gaslighted.

What I mean to say is that, interestingly enough, I think "sufferage" was one of these definition changes, dating all the way back to that era. So just because women want the vote, they had to make an equivalence between suffering and not voting? Hmm... quite the political strategy there. I refuse to use that word in that way. I can also use the same strategy and say "sufferage" should mean what it sounds like... the collective suffering of people, but it doesn not include the reason or cause of the suffering.

Anyway, thanks for the comment, and sorry about the rant.

While changing the definition of words and newspeak are real leftist propaganda techniques, the word suffrage and its correct definition come from the latin word suffragium, which predates leftism by thousands of years.

interesting that suffragium didn't mean voting, it meant buying and selling political offices in Rome.

I see. I meant suffer-age. Like cover is to coverage. I'm making up words because why not at this point.
