My thoughts on your remarks, not on the reddit comment.

I do agree that France should have pay in some way for what it has done to Western Africa.

That "PAY" comes in the form of monetary and societal assistance

I think in general other Western European and the US nations should pay the same way through financial assistance and societal aid

Disagree. No European nation should pay for what they did to the folks they colonized. I'm not even going to give a full explanation for my reasoning; I just want you to think about something:

As you (probably) know, every somewhat advanced civilization or nation has participated in oppressing the less fortunate/weaker ones in one way or another.

So, with that in mind, would you tell the Arabs to repent and "pay in the form of monetary and societal assistance" (in your wording) for hundreds of years of occupation of Spain?

Would you tell the Mongols to pay for all those lands they took and held during their Imperial times?

I could list many more examples, but I think you get the idea.

Those people would laugh in your face if you suggested they're somehow guilty of muh conquest/colonialism and muh oppression and therefore should pay for their crimes.

And they would be right. Likewise, the Europeans owe the people they "oppressed" nothing. The defeated demanding contribution from their victors is utter nonsense.

If the French people speak up, the enemies of the White race can pull the whole muh exploitation

You got it all wrong, pal.

The only reason why people have the audacity to play the colonialism card on Europeans is because the (Western) Europe is completely cucked (just like the Western outposts like the U.S., Australia and others) and has been like that for dozens of years. The Western European governments and academia hate their respective ethnic populations and have been shoving a sense of guilt on Europeans for a long time, while promoting nonwhite immigration and instilling a sense of pride in them.

If Europeans didn't hate themselves...

I assure you, nonwhites and white liberals wouldn't even dare to say stupid stuff like what you describe — they'd be ostracized in a moment and laughed at by every sane person.

A richer,more stable and prosperous Africa and Middle East is a positive for us as those aspects correlate with decreased fertility and less likelihood to immigrate.

I agree, but the core problem is the fact that Europeans are utter cucks and don't have the will to Make And Keep Their Countries European Again.

If they did, it wouldn't matter if nonwhites had high fertility rates and wanted to immigrate — they'd be stopped by border security or military of those European nations.

The majority of modern European nations had minimal if any role in colonialism and does not need to pay.

In a sane world, they do not need to pay regardless of their role in colonialism.

Honestly, in a perfect scenario I think that European countries should cut all sorts of financial "aid" to the third world and cooperate with them only through mutually beneficial trade deals, alliances and stuff like that.

Not a single penny should be given to the third world for free.
