Meanwhile, the imperialistic native Americans of my side of the Americas were conquering everything that moved left to right before the conquerors from the other side of the world did the same to them. Lol. Skill issue.

He's saying Native Americans lived in societies, that they had wars, territories, and slaves the same as we do now.

Exactly. They were and are not noble savages like many people believe.

Right. Again, how is that relevant to the post?

My point is that perhaps the comment was designed to undercut the post. But it's off topic, so the best they could do was be ambiguous about why they wrote it. This kind of vague insinuation is a classic political argument tactic.
