the rest of your screed was previously addressed....your generalized moot points do not support or justify your stance .... neither does placing the word "woke" before them....that's just a boogey man dog whistle for the MAGA/Alt-Right crowd, signifying nothing.

And I would like to see the valid source for your last two sentences.

What does wonded knee prove in your woke mind?

There are multiple sources as per your request. Here's just two of many.
They

Disease

Native Americans suffered 80-90% population losses in most of America with influenza, typhoid, measles and smallpox taking the greatest toll in devastating

As the chronology of the posts shows, YOU essentially tried to deny or minimize the FACT that disease was DIRECTLY and PURPOSELY used against the Native population at various points of American history. My links proved otherwise, and you can't disprove that. However, you stupidly try to use the INDIRECT AND UNCONSCIOUS spread of disease brought on by general contact (thank you for the documentation) to say that the information in the links don't matter.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the info in my links are a matter of history, a matter of fact .. part of the American story that MAGA wonks like yourself just want to ignore. But as I've shown here, you just look more foolish and insipidly stubborn in trying.

And pay attention to the chronology of the posts with regards to why I posted truisms about Wounded Knee. It was in response to one of your previous points. Your feigning ignorance in a printed medium is just pathetic on your part. Carry on.

And now lets look at actual war casualties as opposed to disease in native Americans.

With regard to casualties, the greatest numbers came in two wars: one with a tribe in the forefront of the Indian wars, the other with a tribe few people — then or now — considered a major threat to white settlement. The “winner” in this contest depends on how we do the counting.

"The dark horse finalist is the Snake War, fought mostly among soldiers, white civilians and the Northern Paiutes. This conflict, lasting from 1864 to 1868, tallied 1,782 casualties, "


"The other contender for most casualties is the Dakota War of 1862. Whites waged four Sioux wars against the Dakota, Nakota and Lakota people: the First Sioux War of 1854–56; the Dakota War, or Dakota Uprising; Red Cloud’s War of 1866–68; and the Great Sioux War of 1876–77. The Dakota War tallied about 1,390 soldiers and Indians killed or wounded. Add the 600 white civilians killed in the initial uprising and massacre that began the war, and the casualties number almost 2,000. "

Nice recitation... still doesn't change the FACT of incidents of purposely using disease against some Native folk by European and the American forces..

Only an idiot would try to lessen or trivialize that fact. Carry on.

Why does someone have to be "woke" to disapprove of the mass massacre of old people and children?

https://www.ushistory.org/us/40e.asp
The Seventh Cavalry — the reconstructed regiment lost by George Armstrong Custer — opened fire on the Sioux. The local chief, BIG FOOT, was shot in cold blood as he recuperated from pneumonia in his tent. Others were cut down as they tried to run away. When the smoke cleared almost all of the 300 men, women, and children were dead. Some died instantly, others froze to death in the snow.

This massacre marked the last showdown between Native Americans and the United States Army.

https://www.history.com/news/wounded-knee-massacre-facts
When the shooting stopped hours later, bodies were strewn in the gulch. Some were breathing, most not. Victims who had been hunted down while trying to flee were found three miles away. Some had been stripped of their sacred shirts as macabre souvenirs. At least 150 Lakota (historians such as Sprague put the number at twice as high) were killed along with 25 American soldiers, who were mostly struck down by friendly fire. Two-thirds of the victims were women and children.

"woke" is now the new dog whistle for the MAGA/teabagger/neocon/fibbertarian/oather/alt-right crowd. They don't have to be factual, logical or even honest in their propaganda. They just insert "woke" in their screeds and it's the signal for the like minded to believe anything they say and demonize anyone who disagrees. Pathetic.

Oh, they'll use the authors definitions, dictionary and then their own revisionist clap trap.....they're just willfully ignorant and proud of it. Logic, rationality and reason is not in their vocabulary.
