You would not be saying this had you come from or descend from those who were colonized. There is no justification to be made for this.Get off your horse of self-righteousness and virtue signalling. Any other power would have done the same at the time had they had the ability. Those that didn't were largely landlocked with little maritime ability (Germany), conquering their own hinterands (Russia/US) or small feuding state at the time (Italy).---------------------------------------------- and that's your OPINION Pogo . By the way , I lauded the 'brits' , welsh , scots and English and their ability of such a small population from Blighty and their having to travel the SEA in rudimentary boats or ships carrying everything with them . Let me also laud the DUTCH Boers weapons and their dirty underwear and blankets if that's a true account about diseased undies and blankets Pogo . That is all Pogo .When you have better weapons and carry diseases that inflict genocide on other populations its like being proud of having rabies. I get it though. Youre too weak mentally and physical so what else can you?----------------------------------------- yep , Whites did pretty good for themselves eh . From what I understand Whites are the smallest minority of minorities in the World . And English being even tinier the Sun never set on the British or White Empire Ace ,
Pizzaz's problem is that he starts from the premise that brute force is somehow a "good" thing.
It isn't.
As I analogized in 1345, the fact that you CAN steal that kid's lunch doesn't make it a positive thing to do. Rather it shows a profound weakness of character.
That's just basic MORALS, Pizzazz. Laud the Brits all you like, the fact remains the roamed the earth looking for other people's lands and peoples to exploit, as did France, as did Spain, as did Portugal, and yes the Dutch to a lesser extent, as did the latecomers Germany and Italy which didn't exist while those others were taking other people's lands and so they tried to make up for it in the 1930s. Brits expelled the Acadians, expelled Scots, raped Ireland, enslaved Africans, exterminated Indians, fucked up the middle east, tried to have their way with China --- you go ahead and laud that until the proverbial cows come home but it doesn't change the character of events, now does it.
Stop with the Monday morning moralizing FFS!
