How is imperialism immoral?
I mean
Stealing a nation's land, for whatever reason, doesn't seem immoral to you?
Imperialism is more than just getting the wealth of a region
Well it can seem immoral but I am asking you what makes it so.
murder of mostly innocent people
also people will hate your guts for it
so?
Bruh
and it'll give incompatible people a pass to enter your country
I'm not saying I wanna kill people I just want to know why Koninos believes what he does
"I'm born in French Algeria meaning that I'm allowed to go to France"
or end up with a SA situation where your own people are getting murdered by the locals for the color of their skin
The many things that come with Imperialism:
A) The affection it has on innocent, or otherwise, humans.
B) The way it affects the other nation's economy, national integrity, and the nation's whole in general.
C) The way it mixes up populations so violently.
And more.
Ok but what makes any of that wrong?
look at Africa
The murder of humans isn't wrong?
Why do you believe it is?
Europe colonized the entire continent and shit hit the fan when they left
Why do you believe it's not?
What gives you the right to end the other's life?
think of domesticated pets and how they can't feed themselves
I never said it isn't I just want to know why you believe what you do.
Isn't it obvious? Isn't it common sense?
And why do I need a right to do something? If I am capable is that not enough justification?
Well no not really
Morality can't be tied to common sense because common sense changes
Imperialism was at one time, common sense.
So it's not obvious when you use the current common sense?
Killing in some cases is ok
Ok but what I am saying is that something being obvious doesn't necessarily attach morality to that thing
It's not obvious how killing other people, mentally hurting their society, friends, family, and causing negative feelings to another is a bad thing?
@EYEFORKNOWLEDGE156 True.
So it may be obvious to me as a westerner that killing is wrong but in a different context it would not be
It is obviously immoral.
Ok so what defines immorality?
The people, their cultures, their religions, etc. But murder is the most common immoral thing in all cultures, religions, and all people agree with that, put aside mentally ill people.
And of course sometimes killing is justified.
But the killing which comes with Imperialism isn't.
So is killing actually immoral or not?
