Biden's yammering on about $15 minimum wage. Between that, oil price hikes, tax hikes, our cost of living is going to be insane. It'll effect everyone, even Biden supporters.
I think you're applying today's social morality to people who lived in a different social circumstance. I think you're too willing to vilify them. I'm not sure the point of view from which you're judging them even existed then, and if it did, it would have been extraordinarily rare.
Morality is largely subjective. The only objective morality is those moral principles which are universal to all humans. If you look at the history of the period, the only opposition to manifest destiny was from the Whigs. And their reasoning was more about anti-slavery. They were concerned that manifest destiny would make those new territories into eventual slave states. It had nothing to do with the indigenous people that would be displaced.
So clearly, the morality of the period had not evolved to the point where you are. Morality is not as universal across time and space as activists want it to be. Whoever told you to look down your nose at them because "making space" is immoral, was full of ****. TODAY it is immoral. It was not back then.
Trial by combat was mimicking nature in that the strongest was seen as fit to rule/prevail. It also was a dandy way to settle an argument once and for allTrial by combat was also considered legitimate back then too as a proof of guilt or innocence. Manifest destiny was a gage of superiority as well. Cleansing to nation build is no more moral than ethnic cleansing.

You could only end the combat, short of the death of a combatant, by yielding - which should also end the argumentOnce and for all? No, not if both survived. It doesn't always end in the death of 1.
Good thing that nonsense ended.You could only end the combat, short of the death of a combatant, by yielding - which should also end the argument
Should you go back on that, you would be dishonored and killed anyway

A simple way for Biden to unite the country: organize a BI-PARTISAN investigative group, with Democrat and Republican leaders, to investigate vote fraud and provide evidence and recommendations for prosecution to appropriate state and/or federal prosecutors.
The group would need to be transparent and speak as one; any and all "leaks" would need to be immediately denounced.
Obviously, everyone wants vote fraud to be punished. This would allow Biden to demonstrate his commitment to unifying the country
Obiden does not want to unite the country, he wants to subjugate those that are not inline with global politics. He wants to remove every means that over half the country have at resistance, he wants to sell our sovereignty to the UN and our business to the Chinese. There is no other way to say it, he is a horrible person bent on subjugation, following the whims of his mastersA simple way for Biden to unite the country: organize a BI-PARTISAN investigative group, with Democrat and Republican leaders, to investigate vote fraud and provide evidence and recommendations for prosecution to appropriate state and/or federal prosecutors.

IMO you are wrong. We would be better off in a world where your personal honor was more important than your life. For one thing, we would need far fewer lawyersGood thing that nonsense ended.
I’d rather be in a society where the best arguments and ideas win, AND people have a sense of honor and decency. We’ve socially evolved beyond the nonsense of might makes right. Unfortunately, and not necessarily related to that we’ve socially devolved away from honor. Honor and reason don’t have to be mutually exclusive.IMO you are wrong.

Nothing wrong with honor as long as it’s sane: And if someone is behaving dishonorably there’s nothing wrong with some proportional consequences.I was thinking more Bushido, not might makes right
I am reminded of an old Buddy Hackett story..
