Doctrine of Discovery

The Catholic church is rightly being vilified for inventing the doctrine of discovery - but none of the world's great powers can afford to smirk. All - including Britain and the USA - happily endorsed the idea, declared it to be international law and claimed it justified their seizure & rampaging colonisation of foreign lands & indigenous peoples.

I can't see what effect 'revoking' it would have except as a symbolic gesture. Maybe could be an attempt to de-'legitimize' future transgressions but I wouldn't count on it.

There are things about this world that most people will never begin to grasp.

Like how it really is. Was. And always will be.

The subjugated aren't as noble as you think.

Those that are discovered will always 1. Resent those who are superior.

2 Idea the exploitation of the seafarers far from home.

3. Falsely enjoin them to stay with a false welcome, to learn how to sail the seas and conquer the seafarers homeland.

Now these peessess of shizz complain because they got outsmarted.

Yeah. Too bad for them.

@markansas Wong question pal.

WHAT..not Who.

Accomplishment is superior over idleness. Building is superior over destruction. Discovery is superior over ignorance.

Success is superior over failure.

Traits of inferior people show and they include one or more of the items on this list. No matter what nationality or race, creed or religion you ascribe to. Guilt. Shame. Fear. Resentment. Envy.

Accusation is inferior to forgiveness.

@markansas Not a legacy society that inhabited structures 10 thousand years after the collapse of the globally connected and modern trading civilization that existed almost 150,000 yrs. in the past.

You don't know about it? It was before there were genetic variants and most of the living became mindless parrot like masturbatory trash.

@markansas You only think you think. A truly thinking person has no room in their head for such nonsense.
