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?
What, you mean the French Algeria that was the subject of "Wretched of the Earth" by Frantz Fanon? You mean that transition wasn't peaceful? I don't believe you.
The stupidest part is that I knew that one wasn't peaceful, but I naively assumed others were.
