Hot take:
Columbus doesn't deserve the hate he gets.
If not him, somebody else would have found the continent. Most of the people hating on him wouldn't even be alive without him. He couldn't know that his travel would have caused the creation of one of the countries most responsible for harming our planet. It was not his intention to harm the locals,reading his journals it's clear that,to him,it was a good thing to share Christianity. I HATE Christianity, but we gotta try to put ourselves in the mindset of the time.
Happy to discuss and to change my opinion, but to me it seems the hate he gets is just shortsighted.
