Well you're about to say something retarded, I'm only helping you in avoiding the embarrassment @SilverLining
You should be thanking me
anyhow, I was going to discuss the brutality of imperialism
I was right
and that proves?
I could point out you saying "But ottomans, moth!"
and that'd mean nothing
Nothing, it just paints a picture of what kind of person you are in my head
(even though the ottomans actually were pretty benevolent under the millet system)
okay, so your point against that is?
also, it's not really anti-european to point that out
it's just pointing out a historical truth
@SilverLining Japan for one

Vietnam to this day oppresses ethnic minorities
As do most countries, actually
and I'm not justifying that?
>Wow dude, you're such an idiot for proving me wrong

They did oppress people in the regions they conquered
Not on the same scale
and like
I'm not saying there should be 'self-hatred' in europe or anything
"Not on the same scale" is the biggest fucking co-out ever and you know it
*cop out
if I have a bow and arrows or swords instead of rifles
just merely that europeans should own up to what they did, and why the economic/political imbalance exists presently
I'm going to be able to kill more people
do you get what I'm saying?
Do you get what I'm saying?
Essentially, I'm trying to say that Europe's current position of power was built on a fuck ton of corpses, and that it's not really something to be proud of
just like
be a person, y'know
The first thing that needs to be established before this conversation is to continue is why you'
