What

Later on, because of that matter and others, I joined the Marines.

What

Iraq should have been finished in the 90s.

Buildings break into pieces not many would remain the size of said building

Regardless of the why, the door was opened and the matter needed to be *solved*.

So, this was basically the end of the arguement. Now they're upset I called the Belgian's dutch in joke reply. And this was the best reply.

nothing's a burden, when you can laugh at 200 rounds per minute in the congo.

Bingo bongo

Let's restore the Belgian Congo

Bunga bunga.

tfw all the most well off non-western countries were former british colonies

das waciss

Regardless the Green person's argument is that. more or less. you can't argue an industrialized nation with better standards of living can be viewed as a "Net positive"

So, me conquering Algeria and industrializing it to the biggest vacation spot in the french empire isn't seen as a "Net positive"

Okay, what the hell did you mean with the first half of that

Better?

Basically they argue improving a nation's quality of living and industrializing it isn't a positive for colonialism. As the inherent going there and colonizing the place and conquering the natives is just so terrible that all colonialism is evil because of it.

Let's set a boundary first

What would you consider objectively "positive"?

having food on the plate

having water

sanitization

clothes

warmth

stable housing

Have I given you new technology, have I improved your quality of life, can you eat food and have clean water and sanitized life. ARE YOU NOT LIVING IN A MUD HUT

and do you have infrastructure and are not a fucking cannibal anymore

Guess humans should never had colonized Neanderthal land and stayed in Africa

A counter argument would be that they aren't free now

security, healthcare, disaster control

you're playing the anarchist argument

Even provided all the mentioned above

But they need a licence to hunt the buffalo now

Look, Despite the negatives of the enslavement, the cutting off the hands to maintain quotas, the extermination of cultures, etc. I still say the overall improvement is worth the cost.

Oh don't get me wrong, I am totally on board with forced colonization
