You mean the natives who didn't care enough about their land to defend it when invaded? Those natives? The ones who had thousands of years to develop technology and grow armies without interruption from Europe, but were armed with sticks and stones when the boats finally arrived?
Hoping you're a troll, but if not, please go read Guns, Germs and Steel and report back to us.
Explaining WHY something happens or happened is NOT rebutting the apparently offending claim. In fact, it arguably confirms it. Diamond does not suggest that what 'they fought poorly' claims is false. Why didn't Native Americans invade Europe a thousand years before Leif Erikson made it over here? They could have subjected and colonized at will, couldn't they? Diamond explains why.
You are very vigorously agreeing with the poster who offended you see:
