@tessaracht I mean, you have the predecessor to the white American empire, the British Empire, whose effective overrunning of America wasn't even through military force, it was through their religious outcasts coming here, and then taking over.
Had the Native Americans treated the invaders properly, and enforced a closed border policy, the American empire would have never even happened - the settlers would have either died or gone back to England.

@tessaracht I'm not sure what it says about me that whenever presented with absolutes I immediately try to find some hypothetical and increasingly outlandish edge cases for it
"look yall, we got a massive zombie 🧟♂️ plague goin on, really better that we just quarantine ourselves off sorry"
maybe too much programming
(also lord help anyone who mistakes that hypothetical as a serious and considered political argument)
