Agreed.
Not only did he not "discover" America (for the Europeans); and not only was he complicit in one of the greatest genocides in recent history (as these things are measured), quite frankly, I can't find a single redeeming quality of Mr. Columbus or his actions. His actions were designed to empower the 1% for the purpose of shitting on We The People from multiple continents. His actions, and his accomplices, led directly (via belief, aristocracy, and monetary lineage) to our modern day version of The Matrix.
The more I dig into Mr. Columbus, the people he worked for, and his successors, the more convinced I am that there is nothing worthy of celebration about the whole lot of them.
Not to suggest that Columbus was the problem. He was no big deal, but he was one noted and complicit cog in the same evil machine. Maybe we shouldn't be lauding him.
