Yeah, because the Algerians just famously sat around and waited for the French to leave, and even if they fought, not like they were in any actual danger.
Yeah the French totally left all on their own, and this love of the freedom fighters is comparable to American conservatives.
That thread is a gold crap mine of dunk tank posts.
I've noticed White Man's Burden has pretty explicitly evolved into the Western Liberal's Burden. Other cultures are inferior because they don't accept liberal democratic values / are socially regressive, so therefore mass violence against them is acceptable to correct that behavior (don't ask where many of them got stuff like homophobia though).
