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

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
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
You heard it here Folks, The Ends Justify The Means
Slavery has some pretty nasty ramifications of preventing greater industrialization.
I am just trying to provide a counter point
of course the ends justify the memes
If the galactic empire of starwars came tommorow, and promised us good tech, a galactic economy, and the ability to get into the greater galaxy at the cost of being a vassalized world to provide it with raw resources. I would be tempted to take the offer.
otherwise you'd be a silly guilt ridden twat
