This week I was posting something about post World War 2 and how multiple imperialist powers gave up their overseas holdings, and I very nearly typed about how all of these countries just voluntarily did it. But I was posting about France and Algeria, so I knew that couldn't be true, so I looked up the process of decolonization and of course I had basically just about regurgitated some weak ass History Channel noble white folk nonsense about how the magnanimous West just let Asia and Africa roam free after WW2.

What stupid shit have you caught yourself doing or saying recently?

      It's fascinating how much harder it is to deprogram this western chavinist propaganda even among people who have rejected the religions they grew up with or other random cultural norms.
