Yeah, and most of the fucked up shit in the world is majority the responsibility of European settler colonialism. I’m from the states and most of the fucked up shit in this country is because y’all sent all your fucking wackjobs over here in the 16th and 17th centuries. Africa, the entire continent, is still fucked by all your colonies.
Like, don’t get me wrong, you’re sitting pretty. But the cost of all that pretty sitting was bore by the rest of the world.
Yeah, and the last colony was freed from European control in… oh wait. Oh no! It looks like that hasn’t happened yet.
Other dates to consider
1994, the end of South African Apartheid
2023‐current, intensified Israeli genocide of Gaza
Ongoing, cold war between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir region
Ongoing, Sudanese civil war
All that and more are current or very recent geopolitical conflicts that directly descend from European colonial ambitions and violence.
Everywhere on earth throughout all of history humans have been awful to each other.
A thought terminating cliché that lets you wiggle out of thinking about the impact your continent had and continues to have on the greater world. If you really think this way, you’ll never understand how the world works or how we can work to better it for everyone. Which is a huge disservice to both you and all of humanity.
Neglecting the evil Europe has done just so you can focus on the positives you have is exactly how y’all got into the colonizing business to begin with. Had to go wrestle control of the world away from those savages who don’t know how to run things correctly. It was for their own good, ya see (and for the profits)
Also, Italy, France, Germany, Hungary, Turkey, England, and Russia are all countries that are currently or are courting with outright fascism/authoritarianism. Maybe we think of that before you declare yourselves the beacon of democracy with no peers in the world, yeah?
