Truth is not the same as propaganda, and especially for anyone willing to peel back the, uh... curtains...In todays world you can make anything the truth. Hey if you want to believe nat turner was turned into jewelry then go for it. I could see that helping kamala on the campaign trail
Heck, our famed Tiger Force (operating in the Highlands of Vietnam) was alleged by credible sources to have taken wagers on how far they could skin a living Vietnamese elder who was tied to a tree, before he died.
Same folks were turned in for dissecting local villagers of all ages, but especially elders, and leaving their sectioned limbs stacked in the middle of well-used trails like a shrine of sorts, as a warning to the VC and NVA.
Same era and after, our service personnel sometimes took ears as souvenirs, sometimes wearing them on necklaces or helmets.
Like the Brits with THEIR Empire, during their ruination brought upon India, with their proper clothing, doilies, and their tea promptly at 3, with pinkies held out at angle x, we, despite our stylish clothing and modern conveniences, are barbarians. We cook villages with kids in them with napalm and air-burst white phosphorous. We simply sometimes speak with better diction and etiquette, wear nicer clothing, eat better, fancier foods, and drive slick cars, etc., but we're still fucking cave people.
