“they actually liked it when we enslaved them”
One neat trick to absolve colonizer guilt.
‘See, the black people did it as well. Still think slavery of black people by whites is worse? Wait, what? You do?’
Sadly I’ve ran into far too many westoids who’ve unironically tried to argue the that purpose of European colonialism was to “give” to Africans.
🤮
I’ve ran into many fr*nch people who say algeria was colonized to stop slavery, even though slavery was allowed in France until 1848
Historymemes try not to whitewash history challenge (impossible)
Edit @ title: one comment
…This is bullshit. First of fuck… Even if they thought this; it is correct to say they were wrong AND STILL the europeans are on the hook for being the MAJOR contributor of it.
Whoever made this meme needs to die screaming.
Historymemes people: why yes I know everything about my favorite Nazi commander, from his shoe size to his favorite meal to the amount of bullets he used in battle.
Also historymemes people: African tribes because the entire continent is the same
Also when you see westoids say shit like “They should be thanking us, it was the white man who freed them from slavery.”
Like fucking what?
Background facts: the industry of real slavery in Africa were not large before the Atlantic slave trade. Before the Atlantic slave trade, most Africans were enslaved to pay off debt or as prisoners of war. The European traders use their huge market power from weapons, especially firearm, to create a slave raiding arm race where all local tribes in Africa need to engage in slave raiding to gain European weapons for self-defense against other slave raiders in a vicious cycle.
Also, the Liberals’ support to colonialism contradict their claim that people do not work without personal incentives or that democracy is better than authoritarianism for progress. If the Liberals support the European Fascist ideology that colonialism is good, then they contradict all their false criticism towards Communist countries and they would be justifying Communist takeover of Liberal countries.
