NBC Journalist tweets that life was grand before the white people ruined 'this land'
American Thinker ^ | 03/08/2023 | Eric Utter

NBC News contributing “journalist” Simon Moya-Smith, 39, who is also a lecturer at the University of Colorado at Denver, recently put out the following tweet:

“Before white people came to this land, there were no jails, no homelessness, no laws against homosexuality or abortion. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples emphasized health, housing, freedom to love who you love and the fact that we need Mother Earth. She doesn’t need us.”

This is an example of what we call “fake news.”

There may have been a dearth of jails, but prisoners of war could be captured, tortured, enslaved, or killed. Some tribes had “Blood Laws,” which referred to the widespread practice, particularly in the southeast, of revenge killing. Under this system, when someone killed a member of a particular clan, people from the offending clan had to kill one of their own to balance things out. (I’m guessing there was much debate about whom to sacrifice, not least amongst those who were in consideration.)

Some tribes were nomadic, but others lived in tepees. Tepees were made of animal skins and/or blankets wrapped around wooden poles and were typically about 10 feet in diameter. No doubt, a man’s tepee was his castle.

That dude would not survive in a "pre-modern" world.

Would I like to witness this country as my ancestors on the Dinetah did? Absolutely.

Would I like to live in that world? Absolutely Not.

The comments on the twiiter thread are brutal. If he was expecting an echo chamber of praise, he has been sorely disapointed.

He has no idea of the fighting between tribes and the brutality. He also doesn’t seem to understand that many tribes were nomadic, taking from the land and resources and then moving on to another pasture then coming back later to reap again from the environment that tried to recover.

The plains Indians burned huge swaths of native grasslands to re-seed with what their favorite meat ate to attract more of their favorite meat.

I recall Toronto Maple Leaf legend George Armstrong (Chief Shoot-The-Puck) apparently telling people who heckled him that the Indians had no debts or taxes and the men hunted all day while the women did all of the work at home. Chief was rather politically incorrect compared to this man with a hyphenated surname when mentioning hunting and no taxes, lol.

"Life was better before the white man came..."

Sure. And life was better back in the horse and buggy days too.

But trying to stop progress is like holding back a tsunami. Ergo, it is what it is.

Get used to it and STFU, Injun.

I’m trying to imagine an Indian abortion. It doesn’t look pretty.

The Indians had a wheel, but they only used it as a calendar.

Professional agitator agitates. Search “Simon Moya-Smith” and you’ll get a long history of doing nothing but complaining for cash.

Whatever delusions a “skull full of mush” might have at 20, at 37 this identity actor knows full well they’re spouting and selling lies and evil. They’ve been at it long enough to know what they’re paid for, and by whom they get paid to do it, and why, and they’ve made the choice to make that their profession.

There were also no game tags or limits.

Natives, in their wise glory, killed all the megafauna on the continent.

All across the continent interminable tribal warfare was the rule not the exception. Native Americans have never in their histories had a more peaceful life than they do right now, if they have the sense to embrace it.

There were various Indian tribes in New England and the Upper Midwest that were trying to eradicate each other centuries before the evil white man set foot on North America. Let’s be honest: the Indians were savages, were still living in the Stone Age when Europeans began colonizing America, etc. They should be paying us reparations.
