    Ah Europe famous for colonization, slave trade, racism, the literal nazis being the good guys?

    Y’all I’m an American and fuck my country and fuck the current Russian state but fuck Europe even more tbh.

    Also what are you hating on China for? Guess that’s European racism again.

        Ok you can same the about people.

        But say you and I and 3 other people are in a room.

        We find out one is an active serial killer another a serial rapist and you find out another had stolen $1000 from his own mother for a drug problem. If I make a judgment like " hey dude fuck that serial rapist and that serial killer. " And your response is “you have to accept that everybody does bad stuff”. That would be just as asinine. Just because nobody’s perfect and no institution is perfect. Does not mean you cannot make judgments about which one is morally better than another.

      The only thing Europe did wrong was causing the fall of Rome. Everything that came after that was just a consequence.

      Rise again, Italy, and claim what is yours. The world.

        A bunch of African countries just threw off French colonial control like, three years ago, and are still being vilified for it. This shit is extremely current and you’re acting like a smug prick

        Europe still practices neocolonialism and imperialism. Hell, Australia and other European settler-colonies still exist.

            Read up on local decolonial movements, and listen to what they have to say and are advocating for. Read up on settler-colonialism, Fanon is an excellent writer.

        What a brain dead and privileged take. Exactly how long are people allowed to be upset for? Would you say that shit to a holocaust survivor.

        White people smh

        Europe is profitting off child slavery and other horrible shit worldwide. This isn’t a thing of the past only, and being dismissive like this is beyond disrespectful to the many victims of capitalism.
