I don’t know where you got that from. Don’t even know the guy.

Mate your effort levels of shit posting here are unmatched. Kettle black an all that.

Don’t even know the guy.

Books are a thing, as are history books. I recommend the former and, since you’re ignorant of who Christopher Columbus was, especially the latter.

He thought the world was smaller than it is and found the Americas.

I know who he is I just don’t care. There are plenty of people in the history books but I don’t give a shit about Columbus.

Even in terms of explorers he’s a shit one. I’d rather read about someone else.

Interesting how you left out the fact that he was such a ruthless and horrific governor in the way he treated the natives (cutting off their hands if they did not produce enough gold, for example) that even the Spanish royals were disgusted and he was brought back in chains.

Maybe you’re okay with cutting off the hands of non-white people. Is that it?

Or is it, as I suggested, that you don’t actually read history?

This is the equivalent of describing Hitler as “a guy who helped the German economy.”
