no I just found some Indians on the new land. Totally fine to be pushed around since not Americans
if i dont colonize it someone else will
That somebody else, already there: am I a joke to you?!
Yes.
Me and my buddies. And a lot of wilderness.
What about the indigenous people there?
“So much wilderness.”
I never understood this point. I can discover a crowded restaurant in downtown. Did other people know about it before me? Of cause, but no one I know
‘discover’ in the meme and in your comment don’t have the same meaning. But if this was a competition of who can use a dictionary, you would have won for sure.
I just don’t think so. I mean, sure, it’s a different context but I still feel like “there has no one been there before” just isn’t part of the meaning. Sure, “for the first time” is but it doesn’t include for whom. I just feel this is a weak point to make. “Marco Polo and the Discovery of the World” is a book by John Learner, who apparently thought the earth was uninhabited
I get what you mean, but I’ve seen the “how could they have discovered america if there was people there already” point used so many times that I’m actually starting to wonder if people are just so stupid that they can’t figure out the same thing you just said
