Unlimited death and destruction on slavers and settlers, the only fault with Nat and John Brown (RIP heroes) is they didn't finish the job

I mean, Biden did install a former PepsiCo security exec to run the SS. But more than that also, admittedly, fuck Genocide Joe, I'm aware and unconcerned that I have a bias but may AmeriKKKa burn to the ground. Nazi infighting is good infighting

It's not problematic to have triggers, but yes, this is over-sensitivity and not anything like what you're thinking. And this is a very common shoujo (anime/manga "for girls") style.

AmeriKKKa is like a bottomless asshole, the biggest asshole in human history. The all-devouring asshole

Trans (or "de-trans") Zionazis are still Zionazi scum. Shame the bombs missed, even Andrew Tate (as a thought of the worst person to support Palestine I know of) has more humanity than these ghouls

It was more or less amicable... if you disregarded the rampant slavery that was going on (Portuguese were big in the Asian slave trade, and feudal Japan was a hellhole- though fwiw the highest authorities on both sides seem to have been horrified by it and sent missives in that regard - the Japanese for obvious reasons, and the Portuguese due to concerns it was affecting evangelization).

The Portuguese authorities eventually tried to ban the east Asian slave trade (because they wanted to continue trade relations and there was real risk of being locked out).

Relations with the Japanese otherwise seem to have been peaceful, which honestly is kinda surprising considering how they infamously behaved across the entire Indian ocean and even initially in China (tons of piracy and slave raiding on coastal towns).

It'll be a good start. The most important thing though will definitely be overthrowing the evil empire which disincentivizes and works to prevent agricultural self-sufficiency across the global south (Prof. Michael Hudson has a great talk on this and more), which uses illegal sanctions and destabilization (like in Syria where they openly state the prime agricultural and oil-producing regions are specifically targeted for occupation) to manufacture famines, and which threatens the shipping lanes of the entire globe.

How about the best of both worlds? Orange man wins, gets JFKed during the inauguration. Bonus points if the shooter appeared in yet another BlackRock ad or had a history "recruiting" for Ukraine/Taiwan (or better yet, is involved in both).

I'm pretty sure it happened many times? Not all cultures are rampaging hordes like the west Europeans, though even then given enough time and contact conflict becomes more likely to arise.

For essentially peaceful first contacts, the Chinese treasure fleets of the Ming Dynasty come to mind. They sent out their voyages six times, traveling around the southeast Asia and the Indian ocean (to India, Arabia, east Africa, and Iran). They had varying degrees of prior contact with many of those they visited, but further out as they went further west and south they only knew the routes. Other than some minor anti-piracy activity, overthrowing a Sri Lankan king who was engaging in piracy against Chinese trade partners in favor of an ally, and helping an ally in Indonesia (in Sumatra) reclaim their throne from an usurper, it was primarily peaceful and mutually beneficial on all sides. Gifts and tribute were exchanged, and ambassadors and samplings of goods from previously known but not directly contacted regions returned with the fleets.

There is also history of peaceful trade (probably with no real reason for conflict) between Indonesians (Makassans) and pre-colonial, aboriginal Australian societies.
