"Fuck Columbus" is necrophilia.
No, but seriously, please stop using language of sexualized violence to voice condemnation against people. We should be better than that.

Patrick Wyman on how Columbus was kind of mid, actually
hooks a little too hard into sports analogies for my taste but some of the intro stuff's good
"pluck a sea-captain off the deck of a caravel or carrack in Lisbon or Seville or Genoa in 1490 or so, we would probably find him to be much like Columbus in most respects...His ideas about commercial profits, the use of violence in acquiring those profits, and the potential of enslavement to meet that goal were likewise pretty standard"

Itโs easy to tell Columbusโs story as one of a determined innovator, triumphing over the backwardness and ignorance of medieval Europe to usher in a new era of global exploration, trade, colonization, and conquest through sheer grit and clarity of vision. That is all absolute nonsense, but it is a very easy story to tell.
