Yes and African countries would be inventing flying cars right now if it weren't for the british. And islam is a religion of peace while we're at it.

Deny it if you must, but there's no shortage of historical evidence from their trading companies to two opium wars, among countless other oppressions, in case you'd like to pierce a hole in your ignorance bubble.

I mean you could say it's poor leadership on top of the overpopulation, in conjunction. How you manage to twist it to be about the british is just like some insane self-hating western mentality where you paint non-westerners as perfect little children and put all the accountability on westerners. "OF COURSE WE HAVE TO BE SHIT LEADERS NOW, DIDN'T YOU SEE WHAT THE BRITISH DID TO US A MILLION YEARS AGO?"

I'm not self-hating and never blamed Western culture.

I'm government/occupation/colonizer/exploitation/oppression hating.

Shrugging it off proves you're ignorant of the profound damage unleashed for centuries, and it makes you complicit in being silent about the worst kind of wrongs. Perpetual war doesn't just happen. MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of people don't just destroy themselves for millenia.

The Anglo-American Empire is STILL doing it, globally.

You can still hate those stuff and not do this coddling thing where you completely absolve people of accountability. That's where i'm coming from, not coming from trying to defend imperialism.

That's reasonable.
