I don't usually use 'evil' to describe things but I don't know any other word to describe settler states and their tendency to massacre and torment people they stole their land from and gleefully brag about all the horrific atrocities they've committed/want to commit. Never before have I seen a group people that take more joy in the suffering of others than the kinds of people that want to wipe out entire societies and claim their land for their own.

This is the kinda shit where if you write villains that act exactly like this people will slam you for bad or unrealistic writing, but no, it would actually be perfectly in line with reality all things considered.

EDIT: ps I know me not good at writing things. Wish I can write my thoughts on this better, but I can't really get it into right now

It boils down to racism. When you internalize the stupid racist theories, it is even justifiable and beneficial (in their twisted worldview) to slaughter/enslave them.

the racist theories come from the material need to kill and rob to maintain their way of life they are the ad hoc justification of killings that had to happen to maintain the comfort and wealth of the colony. It's the other way around the settler colonialism creates the racism
