"It really wasn't. It was by definition conservative by them trying to enforce their own conservative beliefs onto them. It was not education, it was explicit attempt to end a culture. Why you and rommel are so keen to go handwaive away the admitted behavior is silly. You really don't need to "well ackshuwally" that history had a LOT of shitty behavior, we're quite aware of that. But your "no big deal, there was worse shit happening" is straight bullshit. Kinda like, "well these aren't mass graves" because well it wasn't all at once so it doesn't count. Despite that just being how many they've uncovered so far at an individual school, while they're searching and finding more. And the behavior has continued (see the missing and murdered indigenous persons, including shit like "starlight tours" that you cannot just go "well that's history" like its behavior from eons ago).
The "mass graves" argument is the same as right wingers bitching about the term concentration camps and people going "well every country did bad stuff and had concentration camps" like people are idiots. We know, and every fucking instance of it should raise ire from people."
I'm not saying there won't be consequences and deservedly so.
All I am is saying you are judging their morality with yours, and yes there are degrees of crimes thats why we have murder second degree murder manslaughter Man two. you can't, because you didn't live their life from a 150 yrs ago to understand why, because you can never get that perspective back. your concept of right and wrong is so markedly different. They only estimate 4000 as low it will be at least 2 or 3 times that. The history of the world is damn ugly, save your energy for current ongoing crimes like China's
China has been accused by the US of genocide and crimes against humanity against the Muslim minority group.
