I don't really understand the hate /r/AskHistorians has for Diamond. When you look at the assessments of Foucault there, he basically will be criticized for somewhat similar things yet with a far more forgiving and even praising tone. I guess one can read into Diamond implicit atonement of the sins of white people because "it's just geography"; and it is just too much for some people, especially for this specific demographic who is into humanities and Reddit.
