considering that is coming from a race-obsessed american bigot, who just tried to whitewash the native american genocide as "giving freezing people a blanket", your words have absolutely no meaning...
Several points:
1. "Americans" did not give natives smallpox infested blankets. Europeans did. Perhaps if you bothered to read history, you'd remember that "America" didn't exist prior to 1776.
2. European colonists died from smallpox as well. It was a common thing. They weren't intentionally passing blankets used by people who died of smallpox to the natives. Nope, sorry, when a person got smallpox during that era, their clothing and bedding was typically burned, and depending on the specific local, possibly their residence as well.
3. Genocide is a willful act. A race dying out due to a disease is not a genocide. The Native Americans did not genocide French Whores by spreading their syphilis to colonials who in turn passed it along to brothels throughout Europe.
4. Spanish Indian wars and French Indian wars and English Indian wars and Dutch Indian wars were common place. Like, seriously, tribes would ally with whichever side would help them decimate enemy tribes. Likewise after the US was founded, the American Army was enlisted to help in tribal disputes all the time, then blamed for the outcome.
Effectively, you're doing the same nonsensical bullshit you always do. Pointing the finger at everyone else about not being open enough to the "other" when you are a part of a society that literally killed millions of it's own citizens. Were there true American atrocities committed against some tribes? Sure! Were those tribes "American citizens"? In most cases, no. There were a few cases where they were. But American expansion west was fraught with war between tribes and settlers/the army. They were not our citizens. They were enemies to be conquered. Again, being German, you should know all about that. What were the death tolls due to German expansionism again? Forget the mere 7 million or so of your own citizens. 20 million plus, all said and done, wasn't it, for low end estimates? How about the German tribes continual sacking and burning of Rome? On the flipside, high end estimates regarding native American deaths due to actions of the US Government run between 1 and 5 million (closer to 1 million if you discount smallpox and other disease-related deaths). Native Americans who were "American" aka considered people of the US? Somewhere between 100K-500K. Those are the numbers of this "mass murder" that was mostly "War".
The only way "genocide" holds up at all is through your filthy "blanket" theory. And why the fuck would you post a Stephan M. video? You want to point the finger at other people for being "bigots" and try to use as a source a true ethnonationalist who is 100% self-confirmed as believing in racial superiority/inferiority? It doesn't surprise me that you follow him, but good god man, keep your racist ways to yourself.
