Yeah I suppose

When it was no longer british

1776 and such

Some of the founding fathers were fucking their own pet niggers

It's kind of a mess

But I think the "unified quest toward glory" led to a lot of greed, which led to importing more mud people for work

I would rather have less money, but well paid white working class people, than have more money, and mud people workers

Of course, what Europe is is invaluable. It can not be purchased with money

But even if we only consider economy, it is bad for the economy. It is good for a few companies or individuals, but bad for the nation's economy in the long term

Yeah

(((Individualism)))

It wasn't a global call until the end of the 19th century sealed our fate to repeat the same mistakes of European empires.

what mistakes are those

The usual: nationalize diverse regions under a single central entity. Acquire vassal states. Blah blah.

Colonialism has proven to be a failed experiment

Everything from the psychology to the physical effects of it are like taking steroids

When your colony goes rogue and declares independence

is that cancer developing?

do steroids lead to cancer?

Or is it bitch tits? :p

Lol

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ very true, short term gain, long term trouble

Bitch tits is when you interbreed with a colonized other ethnicity

Cancer is when the colony declares war on you to be independent

Yeah there was a lot of miscegenation during colonialism

Enlightenment values, goy

@Josh I'm glad to have you around, because now I'm not the only one here casually saying that POC are some mix of predatory ape and physical manifestation of sin

And Jews are Satan's children (John 8:44)

Good find
